Default Bordonaro - 119 Beyer

Is this really true!!! He gets the highest buyer of the year last weekend???? I don't know what he did to earn it, but I don't think horse is going to get the nod over Henny.

116 for Thor's Echo? Forgive me for being a little skeptical. Doesn't matter anyways since the weenie connections don't want to run him with less than 6 weeks rest.

Exactly, Thor's Echo running his lifetime best by 11 points is a little hard to believe. I think these numbers are inflated.

This begs the question and I believe I'm paraphrasing Randy Moss here, but why didn't they pick a prep race 6 weeks before the BC then? It's not like he wasn't working steadily for a long time before the Ancient. This is the one horse that I think could give Henny a run for his money.

Where'd you see that, Ateam? I read this morning in either DRF or Bloodstock Journal that Spawr said it was 50-50, and they would decide by Oct 23.
