Proof of BC "Golden Rail"?
After Round Pond's race today I got to thinking about the BC winners on dirt this year and how they've performed after the BC:
Dreaming of Anna- Beaten on both dirt and turf- hasn't looked nearly as good as last year
Street Sense- Has yet to race again- mixed reports of his current condition
Thor's Echo- Won at LRL and then lost badly in Dubai if I'm not mistaken
Round Pond- Didn't run at all today.
Invasor- Great race in the Donn. . . Don't think he had a rail trip in the Derby.
Now obviously, there are other factors that must be taken into consideration. And I also can't remember at the moment which horses trips could actually be considered aided by the "golden rail."
But this seems interesting and worth noting to me. . .
Any opinions?
