Once again the best two year olds probably took SAT. off

I don't believe I am alone in thinking that true classic horses don't dominate shorter distances like SS did or CQ seems to be quite capable of for that matter. Horses like these are probably going to wind up excellent second level (GII or GIII) horses (where First Samurai should have gone) or will find out that they are amazing sprinters like Henny.

I assume they're hoping for a track record or two to fall to further hype the event. But what it ends up doing is ruining very nice horses and making handicapping the races a joke.

I could care less what the final time is. Give us a fair track and let the best horse win.

churchill no doubt would like to have the world record for 10f at their track, rather than cali. i really think they expected/hoped bernardini would come flying home and they would get their time. oops
horses who come home in .51 for their last half won't set a record, i don't care how much you scrape.
