Her races are just as exciting as those of Heavenly Prize and Lakeway..

Music Note backed up like a true racing star though... HP couldn't have done that..

I guess the new stars of racing are the Broohlyn and California winners. To ex 20 and 25k claimers. Maybe Mullins can re juice Chocktaw Nation?

The biggest star in racing right now is trainer Doug Shanyfelt.

His once failed and highly embarassing training career has transformed into an all out Juggernaut.

Another big one from Mega Star Kip Keno. Steve, have you check the nominations for the Mike Lee? Maybe we , your public, can latch onto Ziptronic? I hear Ms. Rice has this one primed and dappled out..

If these are the stars as Kasept says they are, this sport is in even worse shape than I thought.

Save for Commentator who had a paid public workout, it was not a good showing for any of these horses. Einstein had a legit excuse but he probably wasnt going to win anyways. The other 3 looked absolutely abysmal.

Could Kip Deville possibly have had a better trip?

I'm amused by the reactions to the loses by Indian Blessing and Kip Deville particularly. Big name horses have been caught flat-footed in return races for as long as they've run races... Those prepping for events have to return somewhere.

The showings of any of the horses that were in the headlines last week is immaterial to the topic at hand, which was there are plenty of star power name horses on the track to interest fans/players. Many under-performed over the weekend. So what? That doesn't diminish their appeal and resonance with people interested in continuity/familiarity of star runners.

Was that Kip Deville's prep for the BC Mile? Or is he planning on running once more before late October? What kills me is I was on the wrong horse to beat him (Oper Red Dawn) and I selected the only horse that Kip could beat.
