True forgot about that. When your team sucks, you tend to do that.

Why would any major channel show these races. There is not 1 big name horse running.

Sadly the way the sport is marketed there are only 2 US horses anyone knows and 1 is done for the year and the other is the KY Derby winner that has not won since May.

The ARC will get great interest overseas and is really the only big race this weekend.

I will predict another weekend of 100-105 beyers from a very mediocre group of horses.

The loss of Icon Project was huge. I guess some might believe Quality Road may reemerge as a great horse but for what? 1 more race on a synthetic and retirement?

Summer Bird is a big name? You couldn't find 1 person outside current fans that have ever heard of him.

Icon Project on the other hand has proven her greatness and she is much more likely to do something like win in a romp than anyone else.

Icon Project probably would have won the JCGC if entered.

Icon Project is the best dirt animal in the world. She is very fast and has no 9f distance limitations.

Rachel Alexandra is on the shelf because she likely could not beat IP.

"VERY" is added to emphasize you're not happy about it being this way.
