Wow! I am really happy for Richard. Congratulations to one of the true good guys of this sport.

with 14 breeders cup races every year alot of guys will have breeders cup wins. good for him, but some of these races just cant be compared to the first 23 years of the BC.

I like the Mig a lot but my big pick 4 play just went up in smoke despite going 10 deep. How am I supposed to be happy right now???

Yeah, Storm Treasure was my closer, had $2 across the board on him; now I wish I had guts and had made it $5.

Am I the only one sceptical of the time, they did 6 furlongs in 1:05 and change and the 1st 1/4 was in the 20's.

Default Who Cares!!
It's the freakin' Breeder's Cup!! Today I don't care what Manny is going to do!

OK, I've finally let loose. It feels good to join the ESPN "Basher's Club".

Now back to enjoying a beautiful day.

Maybe 1:11.60 is not hard to fathom, the internal fractions are. I think that is why DRF has not posted them yet in their results page. However when the race was being run, it was hard not to notice it may have been off.

Jeannine Edwards was talking to Joe Torre in the paddock and started asking him about re-signing Manny Ramirez. At the time, I really didn't give a rat's a**.

Just letting some steam off.

Default Curlin is NOT the best in 25 years.
The guys on ESPN really need to stop acting like the mythical title of "best horse in 25 years" hangs in the balance today. Regardless of what happens today, Curlin is not the best horse in 25 years. Just compare his speed figs with Easy Goer's:

Races with BSFs of 115 or higher
Easy Goer: 9
Curlin: 1

Races with BSFs of 120 or higher
Easy Goer: 4
Curlin: 0

Now, speed figs aren't everything, and the Dubai trip complicates the comparison a bit, but it is obvious that Easy Goer towers over Curlin. When you then factor in that Easy Goer was arguably only the second best horse from that crop, it becomes pretty clear that this idea is ridiculous. Curlin is clearly a good horse, but even if he wins easily today, he is not the best horse in 25 years, and I wish guys like Tessitore would stop pretending otherwise.

The sport, or the World Series? Either would be a valid question sometimes. Oh sorry, that was my inner-bitter-Cubs-fan snarking.
