Tarifa was terrific in the Mother Goose:The Chosen Vron is out of the BC. He apparently couldn't pass a Vet's inspection.
There are races of interest this week, but they obviously involve horses not destined for the BC this year.
On Saturday is the Mother Goose Stakes at Aqueduct:

Tarifa was one of the top rated fillies entering this year, and was the favorite in the KY Oaks, but she failed miserably and has only picked up a couple of checks since. She obviously had a physical issue. Gun Song has been sharper. Pretty Anna has good ratings. I'd pick a Gun Song/Tarifa/Pretty Anna triple. The Mother Goose has been a step child of the NYRA racing schedule. It used to be a mainstay of the Triple Tiara, but lately has been a race in the fall for non-BC 3YO fillies. This race is named after a horse, not the nursery rhymes.

Tarifa won an Affirmed/Alydar type battle over Gun Song.
