Paddy O Prado couldn't beat Winchester, who needs a big step-up to beat the B horses coming over from Europe. At least in the Classic he'll have pace... I can see them taking a shot.
I hate throwing a blanket over all Euros in any race, but the Turf division here is really, really weak. |

When was it Really Really strong? The stock is gone and the industry breeds for speed on dirt. Who breeds a mare to turf stallion? Even Stormy Atlantic a terriffic US based stallion doesnt get the commericial success you would think. All the best grass mares are shipped abroad save a few based with the super elite US based owners. While the advent of the juvy BC grass races has spurred a smattering of interest back in grass stock, most of the decent stock is still gobbled up and shipped and bred to propper stallions in Europe. |

That's a great name for a horse.

They name every horse after a finance term. . . It's kind of annoying.

Not for someone who teaches econ...but it is better than Karakorum Shitbrick or whatever they are up to at this point.

I just find them sort of redundant. . . even if they're all different terms. If I were those guys, I'm not sure I'd want to make it known that I'm in the business of managing money, considering how they manage their stable.

Agreed...Finance people have inflated egos generally therefore it is not surprising that they would choose whatever terms people will recognize in that world.

I laughed. Amazing how the business plan of over-paying for 2YOs who go quickly at auctions works out.

Hopefully Workforce comes over as I think he is a huge bet against...

You guys crazy?
Workforce should stomp these. |

This is one race I might not even attempt to handicap. I honestly haven't even heard of most of the runners rumored to go, and I can't imagine many have competed at the BC Marathon distance before coming into the race.

Was it the fact that he was beaten only 91 lengths on dirt last time out that put her over the top?

No performance over the Hawthorne surface deserves to discount a horse's chances elsewhere.
