I love the thought process here - scratch out of the Benard _ try to find an allowace race - lets try the Breeders Cup Mile after a 11 month layoff.

This is crazy, but great. I never imagined that BOS would be put in this race off of an 11 month layoff. What a damn move! I was actually shocked when I read the topic of this thread.

Frankel can't win Breeders Cup races with clear favorites, so no confidence in taking him with a bomb here.

This is classic Ken Ramsey...mark it down....there is a Breeders' Cup at his hime track that he is the perennial leading owner at and he wants a runner on the day....period
I've seen this move before by him....Frankel is a phenonminal layoff trainer and this horse is IMMENSELY talented when he's right, but he can't be really expected to fire off the shelf against these..... They had him ready to stand at Ramsey's farm for $12,500 this year before he dominated in his first start on the grass in his seasonal finale last year on the west coast and they changed their mind and decided to wait one more year and go for the Breeders' Cup this year (he is out of a Silver Hawk mare)...Well, its been an adventurous campaign with ZERO starts (which explains how unsound he's been) and now they are trying to get their moneys worth since they had to sit on him all year after they unretired him..... I knew this colt like the back of my hand from my Fair Grounds days when Werner had him...he's an absolute freak and one of the best horses in the country when he's right, but he is one of the most fragile horses I think I've ever seen...this horse has a bad throat, screws in almost every inch of his cannon bone, bad feet and he is still kickin'...I just hope they don't break him down because I love the horse...

Ramsey
Like they say the only thing bigger than Ramsey's waistline is his ego....
Isn't this the horse that Frankel took over from someone else and promised Ramsey he would get a Grade I win.... PSH

Is this any crazier than when Da Hoss was entered into the BC Mile in 1998?

If he goes, i'm very curious at a big price. I don't think Frankel would send him if he weren't ready to go... i could be wrong though.

how many bc races has he won now? badge of silver has run on turf in the past, when at his best he's good. i'd like to see him do well--and of course he'll get some exposure, as no doubt he'll retire this year, press won't hurt him a bit.
