If you're the connections of Drosselmeyer, what would be the incentive for this? It's a lose/lose regardless of the outcome.

If you lose the race, you lost to a vastly inferior horse. If you win, you beat a vastly inferior horse. Trust me, there is no glory for beating a terribly outclassed opponent.

yup - should have elaborated... just trying to visualize how quick a middle move this is... Relaunch set the first quarter, SB got the 3/4th's just a head back of 1.08 and change... Just seems an insanely fast middle move (making up 9 lengths) to close into that number with a half still to come ...

Actually, I borrowed the line from a song, substituting Rapid Redux for Edmund Hillary.

Did Spectacular Bid dance in the paddock? If not, I find it hard to really take him seriously, despite his unbelievable career.

Joseph there's nothing else going on. The BC is over, it's the end of the year and it's a Monday, what else should the DRF talk about/be covering? So he won 20 in a row, great, nice story. No one is saying that he's better than Zenyatta because he broke the streak. The only thing that he definitely accomplished tonight is that he'll probably be an answer on Jeopardy somewhere down the road.

Pretty sure he did. I'm thinking it was Guns and Roses "Welcome to the Jungle"

No match for this though..

Hey I feel like I need to apologize to you on here also. A lot of other people saw what I said and I was wrong. What I said was way out of line. Again I apologize.
