Is it me, or are they really dropping like flies?

This entire BC is a fiasco. While I have never been a big fan, what has happened now is a travesty.

Byk and some Oak Tree guy were acting like it's going to be the best two days of racing ever on ATR.

Steve has a relationship with the BC and is promoting them. I understand.

It's the worst BC ever. The good news, however, is next year should be worse.

You're lucky Andy, you get to see the "people's horse" on Saturday (Evening Attire) that's better than anything on the "left" coast.

I really wish they would make this a one day event again. A horse like Zenyatta deserves a marquee slot in front of the biggest audience.

How is that possible if people will be at work??

Understood from Casey said there was a connection issue for a couple minutes early on... Sorry.

Well, you guys more than made up for the technical problems Steve. The show with Ms. Miller in particular was great! I'm sitting there at work going through the Euros already, her information was wonderfully helpful.

Those that missed or thought there was no live show should catch the stream at ATR website, the replays tomorrow or the archives for Kate Miller of famed British bookmaker William Hill, providing an overview of EVERY Euro running in the Cup. Invaluable opinion, especially on the lesser-known imports in the under-covered races.

Could be that they are running 2x the number of races, which could account for the higher drop rate.

It can't be the surface though, as there are no injuries ever over synthetic.

I think horses are just coming up injured, nothing more than that.
