If Curlin's first baby faced them this year we wouldn't be having this conversation, she easily gets 10f look at those legs.

The odd thing is that this thread is no sillier now then when some people meant it to be serious.

After two years at Santa Anita, the Breeders' Cup returns to Churchill Downs and a dirt surface this year. They'll never do it (think of how long it took them to adopt color-coded saddlecloths), but the time has come for the Breeders' Cup crowd to strike the words "World Championships" from its branding. Historically, it's just not so. Twenty-six years on, there have now been 15 Horse of the Year champions who either didn't win or didn't run in the Breeders' Cup Classic. Rachel Alexandra is the eighth national champion who didn't run in any Breeders' Cup race. At election time, Eclipse voters, most of them, have shown a predilection for a body of work rather than one big afternoon in the fall. They're throwbacks, in a way. They still value the races that meant the most before the Breeders' Cup came along.

AGS would've left Lucky in the dust (with HS and C) in the '07 edition of that race, NTamm1215.


Like I said … LUCKY Alexander, 2009 Horse-of-the-Year..............

I think AG shat bag would have been eased in the Preakness sort of Big Dramalike..In fact after getting fractured in the Preakness "he would have done enough"! Any given Saturday? are you serious or is this an inside joke?

Calm down Freddy, no heart attacks please

[Smooth Operator]

Pletch had AGS razor sharp for that race (Haskell), fred.

No way Lucky would've held him off that day…

[Indian Charlie]

I think that if Any Given Saturday had driven a NASCAR car in the BCC, this conversation wouldn't be happening.

Seriously how does somebody compare the two..Rachel is a brilliant once in a generation type.. We watch swill win G2 races like that heg in Ca. This weekend.. I dont feel anything but joy for the connections of that crap that won a G2 I wish then nothing but the best BUT there horse is a product of th environment. Rachel, Zenyattta are different they are two of the most special animals that we have ever been priviledged to watch. Now Smooth Load repps Any Given Grade 2 horse as a Rachel type animal ...Please Rachel makes the hair on your Ballz straighten..Any given Colt is Musket Man with a twist MAYBE

Dude, clearly Smooth Operator is joking around somewhat and trying to just say outrageous things to provoke a response. Nobody can be that idiotic without doing it on purpose.

I don't know about ball hair straightening, but I do know I saw both run live this year, and after both performances (KY Oaks and BC Classic), I had the very same look on my face (WHOA!, Can't believe I just saw that, holy crap, WOW that was awesome!)

They could run in Russia and I would try and figure out a way to get there and see it. I just hope they don't pull some political BS with this, means too too much to this sport.....

Horse Racing is a very hard sport to market because of injuries and everchanging landscape, but this specific race, if pushed and advertised correctly, could absolutely send this sport into the right direction.

I was there..All the EPO and Clenbuetrol on the planet wouldn't have saved that colt. Summer Bird is a real horse..Munnings is respectable G1.5 animal..FN Atomic Rain crushed Papa Clem who has an anchor for a trainer. You can't be serious about a nice colt that did what he did.. Rachel what have beatin that wannabe by an easy 7

Hopefully rachel comes back Zenyatta already has...IF she makes it back correctly this SUMMER and IF Zenyatta is still sharp will get a wonder race in the Phipps at Belmont. I dont believe Rachel will be ready before June... The Blossom has zero chance..Rachel doesnt seem to be close..Let us hope the brilliant Sherrriffs is able to keep Zenyatta together thru July ...That is a lot to ask IMo.. Shiiit Maybe Any Given Rat can get back to the track fafter his stint in the shed..lol

Lol … put the crack pipe down for a minute, fred.

Summer Bird is a "real horse" when he gets to run at least ten furlongs … and Munnings is nothing more than a sprinter.

AGS was in there with Hard Spun and Curlin … and he made those two look like a couple of overmatched chumps that day.

Lucky would've been running for second in that edition of the Haskell.



And we'll see how miss "once in a generation" comes back this season…
