George Washington Coming Home
Georgeous George brings his 132 Timeform rating (QE II) to the BC Classic. I like the decision by O'Brien and the Coolmore connections. They just missed with Giant's Causeway in 2000, who was very similar to George Washington. I still remember GC balking the the starting gate and then giving Tiznow a battle to the end. Plus, George gets plenty of dirt pedigree from his dam. It makes sense to take a shot at the best with a horse of this caliber.
Although, Bernardini has been spectacular, I am not waving the white flag and conceding the Classic to him. My buddy Joel will probably tell me to save my money, but I expect a huge (RATTLING) performance from GW in the Classic and I will back him up at the windows. I expect him to be around the 6-1 range come post time. Good Racing Luck

Gorgeous George could really be the horse that "throws the monkey wrench" into everything you're trying to accomplish in that race. Because he's such an unknown. Is he gonna be Sakhee and Giant's Causeway and run huge on dirt, or is he gonna be Dylan Thomas and be a dud?
I think you gotta throw him into any "Boxed" exotics you may be betting in those races. If not he, could be the one that ruins the bet. With that being said, I'm still convivnced Perfect Drift is gonna blow the tote baord to Montreal on BC Day. I'll take my lumps if Bernardini romps by 10.
