Cotillion analysis: Secret Oath is not easy to dismiss

Secret Oath is the favorite in the Cotillion Stakes at Parx Racing. She lost her last two starts to Nest. The last time she finished second in Alabama Stake. She might be feeling the effects of a long campaign led by trainer D. Wayne Lukas. There are other options. Secret Oath earned a 117 on TimeformUS for both runner-up finishes. It's possible she might win most "normal" editions of the Coaching Club American Oaks and Alabama. Nest won the Kentucky Oaks earlier in this year. Her last start was a success. In Cotillions, she's the only one who can win.
