The first thing I thought was... the euros will hate it. They did well last time? Don't remember, must not have cashed.

This is a very interesting race. Wait A While will be very tough over that course. If Forever Together gets some pace though, I don't think there is a filly or mare in the world right now, that hasn't been retired, that can beat her. Her late kick is as good as any horse running right now. I think the heat is the only thing that can beat her.

FT is a real nice filly, but I prefer Mauralakana going 10 furlongs on firm turf.

She has absolutely destroyed the top fillies and mares 2x this year. The Diana was no fluke as she showed at Keeneland. The races were not even competitive. The only loss was on a yielding turf in Canada.

A win and she is the Eclipse winner. She will have to deal with heat and distance, although I doubt distance is really going to be an issue.

Exactly, dude has a hard on for Forever Together.

I will give him that she looks GREAT on the TG sheets. She will be a major key for TG players.

Name the filly or mare that is better than her. If she is in this race than it is pointless to name her, because it will be settled on the track. She appears to be much the best in this field and will likely win in the same manner she won at Saratoga and Keeneland. Easily.

Yeah nice call...

it probably wouldn't have mattered but the ride on Wait A While was maddening for me. And I let out a multitude of profanities when Denman was acting like she was going to win going around the turn wide.

I did make quite a few dollars on her but I have all day tomorrow to lose it back.

She is about as tough as they come. She just finds a way to get up and win.
