$300,000 Coaching Club American Oaks Draws Strong Field of Eight
I’m a Chatterbox has been tabbed as the morning line favorite at 5-2 on the morning line for trainer Larry Jones. A chestnut daughter of Munnings, she has been on the board in six of her seven starts and is a four-time winner. After winning her first three starts as a sophomore, she finished third in the Kentucky Oaks (G1) and has been training steadily since then. Florent Geroux will be aboard and they will break from the outside post.
Curalina going for fourth straight victory
Second choice at 3-1 on the morning line is Curalina for trainer Todd Pletcher. A chestnut daughter of Curlin, she comes into this race off of a three-race win streak and made her stakes debut a winning one last time out in the Acorn Stakes (G1) at Belmont Park. She will have John Velazquez in the irons and they are scheduled to break from post position three.
Include Betty trying for second consecutive Grade 1
Also in the field at morning line odds of 7-2 is Include Betty for trainer Tom Proctor. A chestnut daughter of Include, she has been on the board in seven of her ten starts and is a four-time winner. Last time out, she pulled off a minor upset to win the Mother Goose Stakes (G1) and earn the second graded stakes win of her career. Drayden Van Dyke will be aboard from post five.
