    • She has done extremely well against the best Aus has to offer (unlike Damask Rose), but a G1 win is the glittering prize.  As you know, horses are unpredictable, look at Savaglee, a champion in waiting at 3, never came back at 4
    • She hasn't done too badly in the three Grp 1 1600m races in OZ so far.  Only 4 years old.
    • Yes a big run and she is a quality, genuine G1 horse, but why are they not putting her over more ground, that is her forte and why they paid big money for her.  Is there a lack of suitable races.  They need to get a wriggle on and secure a G1 win for her breeding value, and except for Winx they only have a limited life at the top.
    • Just had another look at the All Star Mile.  That was a big run by Leica Lucy on the slow part of the track.  Of the 8 sectionals she had the fastest time in six of them and only beaten 1.5 lengths.
    • All eyes may have been on Eclipse champion 3-year-old filly Nitrogen (Medaglia d'Oro) in Oaklawn's GII Azeri Stakes Saturday, but it was Majestic Oops (m, 6, Majestic Harbor–Miss Oops, by Olmodavor) who sprung the upset. Racing in the colors of Medallion Racing, Evan Trommer Ward, Arrieta Agave Racing Stable, and Shelia Regan, Majestic Oops left the gate sharply before taking back on the inside behind La Cara (Street Sense). She waited in third with Nitrogen to her outside behind La Cara's :23.78 and :47.17 fractions, then tipped out coming off the turn as Nitrogen tackled La Cara. Majestic Oops, wide and full of run, quickly put about two lengths on Nitrogen nearing the wire as Regaled (Mohaymen) came up on the inside to outfinish Nitrogen for second. The final time for the 1 1/16 miles was 1:43.36. Second in the GIII Molly Pitcher and third in the GI Ballerina last summer, Majestic Oops finished off the board in the GI Breeders' Cup Distaff. She kicked off 2026 with a win in the American Beauty Stakes at Oaklawn Feb. 13.  O- Medallion Racing, Evan Trommer, Arrieta Agave Racing Stable, and Shelia Regan; B-William Dory, Sandy Dory, Gary Kropp, and Janet Kropp (Cal.); T-Dan Ward, J-Francisco Arrieta.
