Is Erupt an overlay? Seems like 6-1 is a pretty sharp dismissal of the horse in a small field. He did win the Canadian International on firm turf last year with the current favorite nearly 3 lengths arrears.

Have to think his last was a throw out, else why would he show up here. Of course, adding Lasix would have helped (and probably shortened the odds).

I used him, firm turf has to be better.

That was like the Introduction to the Opposites on You Can't Do That On Television.

The European riders couldn't settle there mounts. Idaho practically ran off and Erupt had his mouth wide open down the backstretch with his jock opting to keep him off the fence early.

seems like the EU horses that have been sent over have just been a cut below this year.

It's pretty sad, because its not like the turf divisions nationwide have any standouts. Has any US-based horse won two stakes in a row aside from Hunt, who I hardly would call a standout?

I guess we'll just wait for the BC and see which of Ulysses or Highland Reel takes to the Del Mar course the best and crown them champion.

Probably Highland Reel.

Sadler's Joy winning has absolutely ruined my day, I am usually not upset after a day at the race but the old saying pennywise and a pound foolish comes up again. I don't know if I am more upset that i was already thinking of putting him the plays or the fact that he won and the other horses I selected didn't win. I knew that damn Money Multiplier would find a way not to lose, plus the two Euros ran throw out races. Saratoga and Del Mar are real funny tracks
