Are you talking about the one in Fern Park on 17-92 or the Sanford Kennel Club?

I'll probably head up to the one in Fern Park. I think they're showing it.

Don't take the 'firm' for the Tenno Sho last spring as gospel - it was run in a rainstorm. (TVG re-broadcast it.) His closing kick in that 2-mile (3200m) race was quite astonishing.

I agree with you and thought the same thing. I wasn't expecting to see a kick like that at the end of two miles. Its one of the things that made me think he is the best. and yes, it was rainy and not firm at all.

Just like Deep Impact likes

Race goes off at 11:30. I know you can advance wager today at Belmont and you can use the self service betting from 11am-11:30 tomorrow. It is Longchamp Race 7.

Hurricane Run looks like the winner.

Didn't he run it in 2:24 and change too? Shades of the great one - even in a deep turf. Incredible.

DEEP IMPACT by daylight!!!!!

The area rains near Paris avoided Longchamp and the going is "good to firm" which bodes well for Deep Impact. Regardless, it's a great horse race and always a lot of fun how we see our ocean neighbors conduct racing.

I have divided allegiences in this race. I've been a supporter of German racing and bloodlines for 25 years so I'd love to see Shirocco become the second German winner of this race (Star Appeal was the first). Racing is still primary in Germany, not selling, and I'd like to see the industry rewarded.

But Sunday Silence was one of my all-time favorites, the ugly duckling nobody wanted who showed them that ability and heart counts for more than looks. His son Deep Impact is not just a champion in Japan, he is a once-in-a-lifetime horse , a Secretariat or Citation.
