Gotcha.

I wouldn't mind seeing her run back on the Poly again at this point in her career.

After she wins the Beverly D., that is.

Oh!

I love it when you and I agree.

Thanks I remember betting Kastoria that morning, Still mad over that ride by Kinane.

ZERKERIYA,However, she operates at a very different level to her illustrious older sibling: having twice finished runner-up in Longchamp maiden races under Zarkava's regular pilot Christophe Soumillon,

Sounds familiar huh...Nicanor?

I'm just getting home from AP, I pulled into the parking lot and thought I was at the Breeders Cup
Never saw so many people there, way more crowded then last years Million crowd, people saving lawnchair seats down by the rail sucked.

Yeah it was a nice run and good for Aqlaam. His first win since fracturing his pelvis (after winning the Jersey Stakes last year).

MdK's boy Russian Sage was being considered for the Million but had a setback the same week as Archie.

Sucks.

edit - De Kock reportedly now considering Imbongi for the Million. Hope so!

I would think so because everyone was talking about Gio Ponti's performance, including Pachenco who mentioned it multiple times throughout the day yesterday.

We'll see who shows up and take it from there
