10F track record? you might want to ease up on the kool-aid there rev!

Yes. It is 1:59.40 at Churchill, where Secretariat did it in the KY Derby. I could easily see them making the track very fast and I think Bernardini is going to break the record.

I guess anything's possible, if Monarchos could come close, I assume Bernardini could, but he had trouble breaking 2:00 in a 1 turn 1 1/4 on a fast track and no one knows how he's going to fair against some pressure, to automatically assume he can go faster is rediculous...Also, a super fast track would favor Lava Man...

Chances are it will be raining on BCC day. It's that time of year.
