I thought it was the same as all the others. We get too caught up in the field strength and all that. Weather is weather...it happens all the time. IT's not the first time it ever rained at a horse track or even at the BC. I think it is very conceivable the weather played no factor whatsoever in the races. With perfect weather, it is not inconceivable to think every single winner would have been the same in every race. You got huge performances from Corinthian and Curlin pulling in 119 Beyers. You had a 2 yr old pulling in a 113 Beyer. You had the best American turf hose running in his 3rd straight Turf and went from 5th to 3rd to 1st. What was wrong with the Classic field?? You had the 1-2-3 finishers from the turf race last year running in it again this year along with the European star....how much better could that field have been?? You had two undefeated 2 yr olds destroying the fields. What's wrong with that?? MIdnight Lute gave a strong performance.
It was the Breeders Cup. You had good horses and good fields just like other years. Personally I thought the performances were better than any of the last 3 at CD, Belmont, and Lone Star.
It was fine. Weather is uncontrollable.
