Bushfire's win in The Mother Goose, combined
with her Acorn win, puts her in position to become the first filly to
capture New York's Triple Tiara since Sky Beauty in 1993. A win in The
Coaching Club American Oaks would give her that honor, but it is
unlikely that her connections will opt to have her run, feeling
there is not enough time between the races. The Louis Quatorze filly
will more likely be aimed toward The Alabama at Saratoga in mid-August. Favorite Lemons Forever, who won The Kentucky
Oaks, was not a factor in The Mother Goose and the lightly raced Pine
Island showed a lot of promise closing strongly to miss by 3/4 of a
length.
