I hate it too. Not sure how that article or anything he says reasons out to 50-50 for the Mass Cap. Sounds like it is 1 in 5 at best. "Leaning" towards a race means absolutely nothing when dealing with horse trainers. Just sounds like he has no idea where he is going and he is throwing out races to see just how big of a bonus they are going to put together for him.

i wonder if it'll be the mass, as the ky cup is at turfway, and it's poly--a surface that street sense hasn't run his best on...and of course, hard spun may go to the ky cup, since he has a win there. you'd think darley wouldn't want the two to square off til the bcc.

But he doesn't need to win as it's just a prep...and he used a poly prep race en route to his Derby win....The same thing could work again.

what do people like best about boston anyways? getting lost while driving and wondering where the toll road exit you used yesterday went?

the architecture is pretty cool there, but man, driving through there is a bewildering experience.

I spent 3 to 4 weeks every summer growing up there. I love that city, it is like my second home. If you can drive in Boston, you can drive anywhere...
