Happy Derby/Oaks weekend Louisville, KY!
Glad to see the festivities back on the first weekend in May. Normalcy. Be safe, wear your sunscreen and stay away from strangers if you're heading over to Churchill this weekend... wait.. do that anywhere you go, every weekend! Those are general pieces of life advice!
There are a couple picks I've got my eye on.. I like one of the favorite's Travel Column & Coach for the long shot.
Post time: 5:51 p.m. Friday at Churchill Downs. Purse: $1.25 million. Grade: 1. Distance: 1 1/8 miles. TV: NBC Sports Network.
Who do you got winning the Lillies? Let us know in the comments. And you can see Paulie's Picks for the Oaks, and the Derby tomorrow by going to his horse racing site: PAULIE PICKS
Fun fact, my boyfriend is the person who ordered the Lillies/Roses for the winners circle. He is in floral wholesale and imported the roses from Columbia & the lillies came from California. He sells them to Kroger every year for the events.
Roby (10-9) leads the team with a 2.54 ERA in 30 appearances and 129.1 innings of work. Its evident that this team is at its best when Roby starts in the circle for the Cards.
For the Eagles, junior catcher Gianna Boccagno has one of the strongest arms behind the plate in the country. The Florida native leads the ACC with 15 runners caught stealing in 2021. In all, opponents are just 22-of-37 in stolen base attempts against Boccagno this season. BC leads the ACC with 17 runners caught stealing.

The Cards are coming off of a stretch of nine straight games played against top-25 opponents after a four-game series against then-No. 21 Duke, a midweek game at No. 14 Kentucky, followed by last weekend's four-game set against No. 7 Florida State. In that stretch, the Cardinals went 2-6-1 with three games going into extra innings and three games decided by one run. And an 11-inning 0-0 tie against the Seminoles.
Louisville leads the series 8-4. Carmyn Greenwood leads the team and the ACC and stands eighth in the nation with 59 hits. Taylor Roby has a team-high 12 home runs and 36 RBI standing tied for second in the ACC in home runs and fourth in RBI. She has also produced a team-best 10 multi-RBI games.
