Great performances by Commentator and Sun King yesterday. Very dissappointed and those two. I also thought that Papi Chullo would do much better as well.

Lawyer Ron really surprised me. I have been neutral on this horse all along, but Pletcher knows how do whatever to get the best out of a horse. My Typhoon also surprised me too. I thought she ran a fabulous race and had tons left at the end of the race. I thought the ride on her was one of the best rides of the day.

Not sure what the "win in your in" thing did for these horses who won yesterday. I think they would have been able to get into the Breeders Cup anyway. I really think this concept is stupid - but that is just me.

certain race wins gurantee you a spot come the bc, in the past a race winner of a 'big one' might ultimately have been excluded due to other factors. fat lot of good it will do ginger punch tho, as she's not nominated, so they would have to also cough up 180k to run.

It is unfortunate she is not nominated. She looked really good yesterday. I guess the owners will fork up the dough if she continues to do well.
