2013 Delaware Oaks Race Favorites

Tell a Great Story - most recently won the Go for Wand Stakes in her stakes debut here June 15 over Ile St. Molly by a nose, Alli Leigh and Broomsage for her second straight win - the other being an Allowance Optional Claiming at Pimlico May 12. She has three wins, one second and a third place finish in five career starts and is the morning line favorite for the Delaware Oaks despite drawing an unfavorable post 9.

Ile St. Molly - had a couple of minor stakes scores this year for trainer Kenny Miller and is the only two-time stakes winner in the field - the Rainbow Miss in March and the Our Mims on this track May 18 and is coming off a good second in the Go for Wand Stakes here June 15 ahead of Alli Leigh and Broomsage and behind Tell a Great Story. She didn't start her career in terrific fashion but her recent efforts have opened a few eyes ahead of the Delaware Oaks. The Delaware Oaks will be the longest race in her career but she enters as the most decorated of the entries.
