Irridescence can't lose

I must respectfuly disagree, but she will run a wonderful second. :)

Really excited for this card!

I hope everyone dumps a boatload of $$ on Citronade. Will make my money on Irridescence look even better.

8 days and counting... can't wait.

I'm not as familiar with the euro's for the million yet... need to do some homework on them before the 11th.

I personally think Citronnade has an excellent shot of the American runners if no one tries to run with her early. Lady of Venice has been outstanding this year as well, do you know if she is going?

the last I heard, L of V WAS planning on running. I agree with you that Citronnade, Lady of Venice and Honey Ryder are the three best US runners, but don't think they're in the same class as Irridescence (hasn't won as many races due to running in Group 1's against the boys). If the race was longer, then HR would be a better play... just think she needs more distance.

I think a lot depends on the weather during the next week. Right now the turf course is sidewalk firm but give us a couple days of rain and it could be very deep. No rain predicted for the next 5 days though.

more information will be coming here.

hopefully there will be replays, etc...

That sucks. Any idea why?

Cheers to that! :D

just checked and found that we've got 40% chance of thunderstorms for 5 days before next Sat. with it 90 degrees and 90% humidity, an afternoon thunderstorm wouldn't surprise me.

Hope it's not today.

because godolphin nominates horses they have no intention of running...

and they won't run if there is any problem whatsoever.

usually that problem ends up being that the horse is slow.

No way. Jennie R. goes from 50K claimer to GI winner in two and a half months.

You heard it here first.

The Beverly D. is looking like a nice, competitive field.

Doctor Dino is an interesting one.. Has good G1 form here and has had international race experience..

Hasn't he been on a few month layoff though?

he's been off since Singapore in late May. Im just hoping this was the plan all along, but a prep run would have been nice!!

I think Pressing could compete....

You know, any weather forecast in Chicago isn't official without the Tom Skilling stamp of approval. :)
