Thats what you get with crude oil at 110 bucks a barrel. They should rename the race in George Bush's honor.

Ummm, since every thing that is bought by the Sheiks at 3 is retired to stud, they should make it for 2 year olds they buy after big wins at Saratoga.

You guys are absolutely ridiculous. YOu have said some real stupid stuff, but do you realize how bad they would get beat? 3 year olds don't beat older this time of the year, MAYBE towards the end of the year, and even then it is stretching it...

I thought they were saving this until they get the new race course at Meydan in 2 yrs.... they're getting ahead of themselves.

How well have they done? I have no idea, but there is a six month difference there, that is completely different....

So 3yo's can't beat older at the end of March but can beat them at the end of May? Why is that?

I think Scavs was objecting to someone saying that the connections of a top 3yo might run in the $12 Dubai World Cup race.

The race will probably be for ages 4 and up - and even if it wasn't - no one is going to run a top American 3yo against the worlds best at 10 furlongs in March.

3 year olds are still developing this early in the year. Where did I say the end of May?

They don't really step up to face olders until the JCGC or within that area to see if they are BC Classic ready

How many times have you seen a 3 year old beat older this time of year?
