On Kentucky Oaks Day, here are the fillies (and their pedigrees) in post position order, with photos taken this week. The ones with no pictures trained very early in the mornings or in the case of Money'soncharlotte, arrived late to Churchill Downs, and I didn't get to see them.
The Larry Jones-trained pair of I'm a Chatterbox and Lovely Maria will be formidable against the morning line favorite Stellar Wind. I wouldn't count any of those three out, but I like Birdatthewire and look for longshots Forever Unbridled -- whose dam Lemons Forever won the 2006 Kentucky Oaks and whose full sister Unbridled Forever was third last year, but who may be compromised by an unfavorable post position -- and Puca to make an impression.
