The race appears to set up nice for LOL and Zenyatta. Should be a good pace

Why does it set up nice? Where is the speed? Haynesfield showed he can go 1.13 and change, and QR figures to pull a cozy press trip of the NY Bred. Where is the other speed?

Redding Collery - especially if Anna Rosie is going to ride.

If the Japanese horse Espoir City comes over he has speed.

Here's a bad video of the JC Dirt: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HY4zDP_T4oQ

I have been thinking about the Classic speed for a few days now, even talked to Phil about it. As a QR fan, I love Haynesfield.

I think Haynsfield really has zero chance....you just confirmed it.
We have all seen horses outrun their breeding before, i will take a shot this one wont.

I have zero memory so excuse me. Has a foreign horse ever won a DIRT Breeders cup race?

How about Morning Line and and the blinkered First Dude? They pretty much assure that the opening half will be no slower than 47 and change.

I know Morning Line is going, I have not read anything about First Dude. I have read anything from turf to the BC dirt mile.
