It's a great betting race, there are a few horses in it that could be legitimate turf horses down the line and there's more than enough pace to guarantee that it'll be a truly run race.

It's easy to pop on here after 80% of the stakes races run in this country are carded and crow about how bad the horses in it are, how the good horses from yesteryear would crap on them, and how few good horses we have now. This, to me, is going to be an interesting race.

Who are the ones who could be legitimate? I see a standout if he can run back to his Woodbine race 2 back. The problem is he burns more money then anything. The 13 is OK, but this might be to much to soon and that post does not help. Am I missing someone else?

For betting purposes it well be terriffic. I didnt knock the talent and realize that there just arent turf horses in the States anymore of substance. The stock is gone and it isnt coming back. Good news though Telling is prepping for the Sword Dancer

Let's hope he has a breathalyzer test in a couple of minutes. That was special.

He is either outstanding or horrible..

The thing with Kent D., and many other jocks, that always baffled me, is that they seem incapable of learning from their same old tired mistakes.

I saw that coming a mile away, literally.

You were watching the race in HD with 3 camera angles, while I agree they seem to make the same mistakes a lot, its a little unfair saying you saw it coming like sleepy should have as well.
