I didn't realize they were going to run her again before the Breeder's Cup. This makes me think she is headed for the mile. What do you guys think?

I expect her to run in the mile, but this could set her up for the mare turf also. It can be a prep for either.

I am so excited about this years cup and not just for the Classic this year. Normally that is the race I am most excited about. This year is going to be sooo good.

Gorella is bad news in my book, still love the late running bitch though

I think she goes in the Mile. Coolmore wont run 2 there, and they want G Dubs for the Classic it seems to take on their friends from Dubai. Aragorn really hasnt impressed me and the rest of the contingent is very average from the US. Considering she ran a troubled 3rd last year to Leroid and Artie and looks better this year, I think thats the logical choice.

How has Aragorn not impressed you? What has this horse done wrong? He has just won everything in site on the west coast. No reason why he should be talked about as one of the key contendars.

I love Gorella. I loved her ever since I saw her race at keeneland in her US debut. I would love to see her go in the Mile since I think that is he best distance. I think she would win if GW doesnt go. If GW goes in the Mile then it is over with.

Aragorn has been really good, but something tells me the Euros will win the Mile this year.

I'm with ya there Buffy.
First off...if Gorella hits the board, consider her ready.
Second...the timing is about right.
Third...I'd love to see her romp...despite the naysayers.
