Gorella and Karen's Caper get huge figures

Those who are tossing either of these horses in the BCM might want to rethink that, as the winning figure for the race was 112.

Not saying this changes everything, but it's worth noting at the very least.

I heard that Frankel is talking Matriarch and no BC for Karen's Caper.

I guess that will be one less loser for me on BC Day.

Beyer speed figures on the turf are not all that accurate or dependable.....

I would tend to agree but in this case you know it was a pretty fast race because the third finisher is a very consistent horse who also got a very soft trip and got drowned by over five lengths.

Coming off that kind of effort with 3 weeks I am more inclined not to use them than the other way around.

I would normally totally agree, but Gorella.....she just never, ever fails to fire.
Even after that tough race, and facingthe boys', I see her absolutely being in the trifecta.
