Is it me, or are they really dropping like flies?

This entire BC is a fiasco. While I have never been a big fan, what has happened now is a travesty.

Byk and some Oak Tree guy were acting like it's going to be the best two days of racing ever on ATR.

Could be that they are running 2x the number of races, which could account for the higher drop rate.

It can't be the surface though, as there are no injuries ever over synthetic.

I think horses are just coming up injured, nothing more than that.

Steve has a relationship with the BC and is promoting them. I understand.

It's the worst BC ever. The good news, however, is next year should be worse.

You're lucky Andy, you get to see the "people's horse" on Saturday (Evening Attire) that's better than anything on the "left" coast.

Thorn Song ????? OMG

I hate Whatsthescript, not because of the horse but the trainer. I'll barf at the next Cost of Freedom he comes up with.

I really wish they would make this a one day event again. A horse like Zenyatta deserves a marquee slot in front of the biggest audience.

How is that possible if people will be at work??

That's what I thought you said too. Thorn Song = nice horse, no shot here.

Since Henry (miler) and Duke (maybe past his best) are in the Classic, the Turf is more wide open and RR does have a shot, IF Soldier and Conduit (and even Eagle Mtn) fail miserably. Also, RR has scratched from the Sword Dancer and didn't go in the Joe Hirsch Turf Classic (his intended prep) which is a concern. When was the last time Hennig won a G1, 12f grass race off a 3 1/2 mo. layoff.

Throat, you are right about GC. I was OK in Europe but he faced a pretty poor bunch (relatively speaking) in Rail Link and Red Rocks. Look at what RR did in his recent tries w/G1 Euro's in Europe. He like firm and Lasix, and the easier company here..

If it's that important, take a sick/personal day.
