Whats your morning line look like?
My guess:

Zenyatta 9/5
Lookin at Lucky 7-2
Blame 7-2
Quality Road 6-1
Haynesfield 8-1
Fly Down 11-1
Richard's Kid 15-1
Redding Colliery 18-1

I believe every horse that has been mentioned so far has won without a prep here, but I'll have to look on Sheik Albadou.

How about Morning Line and and the blinkered First Dude? They pretty much assure that the opening half will be no slower than 47 and change.

No problem.

That was too funny Chuckles.

Scroll down just a little and look at the right... the replays are right there.

You can click on the Japan Cup, Mile or QE II and watch all of them.

But they are talking about races in November and December 2010. Sorry, that's confusing me.

I think Haynsfield really has zero chance....you just confirmed it.
We have all seen horses outrun their breeding before, i will take a shot this one wont.

The replays are for previous years... that's why they're listed under archives.

It's just how they arrange their site... putting it all together so yeah they're talking about the upcoming races but they're nice enough to have all the previous editions in one place.

Lemaire replaced Take for that race.

Some of us were pretty damned happy about that.

OK. I got kicked off for taking too long. ECity is OK; the horse that closed behind him was one I would bet on; who was that?

I know Morning Line is going, I have not read anything about First Dude. I have read anything from turf to the BC dirt mile.

Have I lost my mind?

The racecaller says La Verita (nice girl. Actually she was 2nd this past weekend at Hanshin) but i thought Silk Mobius was 2nd. He won his last 2... Tokai something Stakes in the spring and the Breeders Gold Cup this summer (he beat Kane Hekili). Both G2s.

Anyway I just checked and as far as I can see / remember there was no DQ so I'm either hearing things or i don't know what! I think it's Silk Mobius though.

Wonder if Vermilion will go. He's what 8? 9?
