Breeders Cup 2006 Dream Lineup
The probable retirement of Bernadini and rash of injuries to top horses over the past year got me thinking about what kind of race we "could" have in 3 weeks. The two rules I used was that in a perfect racing world:
1) Horses never were injured or sick 2) Trainers/Owners would never consider retiring a horse until after their 4-year old season. If this were true, here's a guess of what kind of race we could have in this year's cup. Post time odds and jockey's are just wild guesses. How in the world would you begin to handicap a field like this? Listed in order of M/L odds: 1) Bernardini 9-5 Castellano 2) Barbaro 2-1 Prado 3) Afleet Alex 7-2 Rose 4) Electricutionist 5-1 J. Velasquez 5) Invasor 7-1 Gomez 6) Lava Man 8-1 Nakatani 7) Stevie Wonderboy 10-1 Espinoza 8) Brass Hat 12-1 Borel 9) Buzzards Bay 20-1 Bejarano 10 Perfect Drift 20-1 Leparaoux 11 Jazil 30-1 Jara 12 Lawyer Ron 40-1 McKee

Screw just including four year olds. If you want to dream then let's dream about a racing world where the most money is made on the track rather than the shed and no one gets retired until they get injured or can no longer compete at the top level. Then we'll tack on that no one gets injured:
How about: Ghostzapper Roses In May Saint Liam Smarty Jones Rock Hard Ten Lava Man Afleet Alex Bernardini Barbaro Electrocutionist Invasor David Junior Now that would be a horse race.

I didn't mean dream by "what I wish for".
I just meant that those 12 are all logical going by what transpired over the past year. And Obviously Ghostzapper could be included, but I wouldn't expect him to be running at age 6. the only horses I included 5 or older would be geldings.
