Many under-performed over the weekend. So what? That doesn't diminish their appeal and resonance with people interested in continuity/familiarity of star runners.
Was that Kip Deville's prep for the BC Mile? Or is he planning on running once more before late October? What kills me is I was on the wrong horse to beat him (Oper Red Dawn) and I selected the only horse that Kip could beat.
