Joel Cunningham will trash Funny Cide, Oracle will hate him for it, and then board members will be forced to pick sides. The culmintaion will be a Hell in a Cell steel cage match between Joel and Oracle on Breeders Cup Day @ CD. It will be held between the Turf and Classic.

Special guest referee: My Miss Storm Cat
Guest Ring Announcers: Steve Byk and JJ Gracie
Timekeeper: Barclay Tagg

That is classic baby!!!..Absolutely beautiful...love it....Who's laying odds? Am I the 3-5 choice yet?

Actually, if Barclay is keeping time I am probably at a disadvantage and should be an underdog...LOL...Nice post

I just went back and re-read the article...and you sir, are correct. Thanks for the heads up. I thought Simmons had quoted Stephen A.

Joel, the only thing that concerns me is if Melhor Ainda is healthy; she has a sporadic work pattern and I'm not sure why she hasn't run already. Still, Bobby did indicate months back that he might train her up to the Diana; if that's the case, he probably doesn't need to work her like clockwork every 5 days since that race isn't until mid-August. He's a great trainer and she runs well off of layoffs (as well as on any going - firm, good, soft).......I'm really crossing my fingers with her.

Yeah, and I trhink your concerns are valid...let's face it, she is a Pulpit and as much as I like that stallion, his foals are very fragile animals on par, especially the fast ones, and obviously he was very fragile and has passed his soundness issues to his progeny.....Frankel is stellar off the shelf so I would definately see it as a strong endorsment if she trains directly up to the Diana because it would tell me that he is confident that she would be up to that task or he wouldn't do it to her.....we'll see

Predictions....hmmm...This should be fun

Pletcher wins another Eclipse.
Deep Impact loses in the Arc and if he runs in US he will lose again.
Hurrican Run will struggle this year.
Flower Alley is upset in the Breeders Cup Classic.
Gorella wins whatever Breeders Cup race she races in.
Declans Moon has a great fall and winter
Lost In The Fog wins only 1 more race
Surf Cat is retired

Last but not least---D Wayne Lukas wins 2 Breeder Cup races.

I predict that Godolphin et al gets blanked on Cup Day and has no champions this year in the USA. I then predict that Joel and I get into it heavily as I gloat when Todd et al win at least one race and have at least one champ!
