Look, its a horse race. And hes not going to get away with a cushy trip and slow fractions. You act as if he cannot possibly lose this race. Rock of Gibraltar lost a BC race. Things arent so easy on Cup day.

Never thought Showing Up would win the Breeders Cup turf. His breeding suggests he couldn't run that far with the ideal trip. Showing Up is a nice horse but the European horses are much better than any horse in America. The group 2 horses could beat the American grade 1's at 12f.

The Rock is not Bernardini. And I loved the Rock. Bernardini has a ton more than we have seen. A ton more. When they cut him open we are going to see a heart similar to Secretariats.
