When will Kent D ever learn, I'm sure this was missed with the focus on Zenyatta, he once again stopped riding a horse (Summer Bird) who may or may not have finshed 3rd in the Classic with a more vigorous ride approx 25 yds prior to the finish line.

I talked to Tim Ice after and he was happy with the result, he lost nothing in defeat IMO and obviously is 3yo champion male and the early 2010 BCC favorite.
I wonder if Ice will ask for a refund of the 10% Jock's fees. In a 5 million dollar race the guy doesn't see fit to ride out for 3rd. Go figure...

I think it is 5% for 4th in CA stakes though it might be different

I'm not including Rachel in the weather forecast. Otherwise he's the clear 2nd choice.

as nice as it was in Louisville this weekend, there is no doubt it will be raining and bitter cold next year.

Summer Bird had zero chance at staying ahead of Twice Over...

I wouldn't say that, whether it is a 0% chance or a 30-40% chance is probably more accurate, someone should tell Kent D people do play Tri's or show bet in races.
