Mother Goose and Vanity

*UPDATE- Don't Forget Gil and Hopeful Image scratched from Mother Goose. Rachel to face two now.*

I'm so pissed right now that they aren't showing either the Mother Goose or the Vanity on tv. And since I don't get HRTV or TVG I'll just have to settle for the computer replays. *Sigh* Oh well on to the picks.

The Mother Goose Stakes at Belmont Park

$300,000 G1

1 1/8 miles 121 .lbs all

1.Hopeful Image 30/1

2.Don't Forget Gil 15/1

3.Rachel Alexandra 1/5

4.Malibu Prayer 10/1

5.Flashing 4/1

Ha! Rachel has scared away most of her major competition here. Only four have come up to the plate. I'm guessing if she blows these guys outta the water no one is going to want to race against her soon in the filly division. Of course my pick is Rachel to win, Flashing to place and Don't Forget Gil to show.

Vanity Handicap at Hollywood Park

$300,000 G1

1 1/8 miles

.lbs

1.Dawn after Dawn 116 12/1

2.You lift me up 114 20/1

3.Forest Melody 113 30/1

4.Hot n' Dusty 111 30/1

5.Modification 114 12/1

6.Briecat 114 15/1

7.AllIcansayis Wow 113 6/1

8.Zenyatta 129 1/5

Zenyatta to win, Dawn after Dawn to place and Hot n' Dusty to show.

I'll be back tomorrow to post the replays hopefully, and give my opinion.

Have a great evening!
