I don't think the transfer to Pletcher was for ****s and giggles. Seems to me like he's going to pointed towards the classic and/or dubai.

I really think Coolmore will run George Washington. Like I said, they really want a son of Danehill to stand in NA and a loss on the dirt means nothing compared to a loss on the turf for GW and his stud value.

I agree with you on this. I hope they do so Gorella and can win the mile.

I think those of us that are going to the BC should participate in a reenactment of the crossing of the Delaware outside of the Paddock.

Do you think they'll let us bring a cardboard replica of the boat on the grounds?

They may. I will be in section 119. Ball Four is a joke and I hope he doesnt go. But why not try him. I guess Premium Tap will make it as well. Seems to be a nice field.

I have a lot more respect for Premium Tap after his effort in the Kentucky Cup. He fought hard after getting stopped.

You can't fault the horse for having a dumber animal piloting him.

euro, did you read or hear something about Premium Tap going? After the Woodward, Kimmel said it was unlikely. I don't see that the next race, excuses or not, would be enough to change his mind.

What happened to Don't Get Mad this year?
I figured if anyone loves Churchill, it's this guy. I know his first race back 4th of July weekend was horrible, and I think he may have raced once after that and ran equally bad. Did they retire him?

And I assume the following horses are on the shelf and won't be running:
Buzzards Bay, Deputy Glitters, Sharp Humor, Jazil, Steppenwolfer.

It would be great to have Wilko run. Just to hear some people claim he's still a great horse capable of winning.
