Wow, love that Clark field.

[Sightseek]

The Clark is awesome.

[Gander]

Fantastic field! This weekend is going to be way better than the BC.

Every Thanksgiving weekend I think about what it would be like to have the Breeders' Cup on Friday/Saturday. Yeah, it's kinda cold at times, but oh well. The benefits of it spacing out the fall races, eliminating the pinch on many racetracks and races, and giving everyone more flexibility in terms of where/when to run their horses is a good thing. It pinches the Euros a bit, but ultimately, seems like a good idea.

Leparoux committed to ride in Japan Friday and Saturday before Einstein was pointed for this.

Is it going to be wet THIS WEEKEND in New York, Kentucky, or SoCal? Yep. It's a bad idea. People bitch about the synthetic, but slop n' watery spinach turf aren't great either (tons of bias involved.)

Very odd race.

I was actually speaking about how the Falls City was run.

Macho Again needs a wet track and/or a pace collapse to matter.

I love arguments like this. That's like saying Zenyatta is only a nose better than Anaaba's Creation. Sound right?

Some people are beyond help. Don't try.

It was made here for months, dont you remember..........just do a search for Drugs posts he must have mentioned it 50 times.

Its not an argument but a statement of fact.

Out of curiousity since you seem unable to drop the topic - do you really believe Rachel does not deserve HOTY at all?

Its a toss up but I think RA did more when given the chance....who the better horse is, now that is a better question. I don't think Zenyatta was ever really tested, ever, her closest win was when her rider left her way to much to do when every other horse in the world would have been beaten.

While the punchline to a joke, this Anabaals Creation....it was actually the best effort Zenyatta had in her career, she should have been beat.
