Just a quick survey, but there seem to be several throwouts.  How about that OK (something) from Japan.  Don't know anything about him!

Saved me from having to look for the PPs.  Knew they were out there.  Now, should we start with the Oaks?

Oaks - what ya'all think of Power Squeeze.  Overlooked a bit?  But still drawn to Just F Y I.

Left me with questions, this race did.  I think Fierceness got bumped around a bit and just threw in the towel.  Sounds like he didn't relax.  But I hope he's all right.
But mostly, why wasn't there a steward's inquiry on Sierra Leone bumping and pushing Forever Young. Pretty sure Gaffalione couldn't prevent it ... and what was he doing with his left arm near the finish.
That said, what a ride from Hernandez on Mystik Dan.  (Would have made a good hunch bet for me, as I love to go to Mystic and my BIL is named Dan, but I don't have any betting accounts.)
