BC Mile.. Will it be the first time in BC history
 
that there are more Euros in a race than Americans???

It is a reverse of what we usually have. I think a euro wins this and an american wins the turf.

Another first..
 
Just read where if Lewis Michael and Dreaming of Anna both run, it will be the first time brother and sister appear in the same Cup.. I didn't even know they were brother and sister...

Yeah, full bro/sis. Calabrese does not have the mare anymore, sold her, not sure to who.

That is awesome that they get to be the first bro/sis.

when dreaming of anna's debut came up at arlington -- that was all anyone could talk about regarding this horse and how she was an easy gimme in that race.

Arlington people more then everyone. LM was also unknown until after her debut because that was right when he ran that monster race at Belmont......

well for people outside of arlington that was the first people heard of lewis michael -- seeing him at arlington last summer was a treat too, and i had him pegged to run a bomber in the illinois derby but he came home fourth which i found was respectable enough.

but you're right, for the national rader, he was a nobody until that belmont race

was looking at the stats Brock.
Euros, for all their success in the BC in turf races, do not win at a high % when they made their final BC prep in the States.
guess they fire best first off the plane.

is their a lot of talk over there about this?
and why do you think Coolmore ran Aussie Rules at KEE instead of leaving him in Europe with other horses like GW and Scorpion?

I like Aussie Rules, always have.
i just worry he might have just run his BC race a month too soon at the wrong KY track.

You read my mind.....

I like Aussie too and he's improved much this year. That said.....

Euros sweep.... Librettist, Echo, Araafa. Only the order is unclear.
