I guess Jess probably won't send to Dubai either, since they are going synthetic next year also. 2010 Classic at Churchill?
I wonder what he stance would be if Curlin had won last year.

Actually think this is good news. Fucl< the Breeders Cup on fake dirt. Good for Jess... liking the man more and more every day.

Also if she is sound there is absolutely no reason for her not to race as a 4 year old and even a 5 year old... especially if Jess is as unhealthy as I've been hearing.. might as well get all the action in now while you're still around!

Hearing?

How about "looking"?

He looked like "The Terminal Case of Benjamin Button" in the Preakness winner's circle.

I know, I felt so bad for him, I didnt realize who that was at first. Do we know what is wrong with him, have they said?

He is 79 years old. Maybe his age has caught up with him.

No thats not age! I mean he looks like a totally different man. If you put pics of him from even when Curlin was running and now, you wouldnt know it was the same person. Very sad

Racing being as backwards as it is, I'm expecting the BC to announce any second now that Santa Anita is their new permanent home.
