Open G1 contests with $5 million purses impress me FAR more than restricted crapshoots for very young animals on the first Sat in May.
Seems like some fillies mature quicker and can more easily compete with colts early in their 3-year-old seasons
Usually a different story later in the year or when they turn four
WC's front-running score in the Derby was commendable … but something she never could've duplicated in a race like the BCC.
Somehow I don't think Shirreffs would've been shaking in his boots at the prospect of facing an 8 for19 monster like WC … lol
More to say to the usual nitwits … but gotta run now
