Not that these horses were the best in the field but some contributed to the pace factor.

The question was of those who ran, not those who were entered "just in case".

And actually, to expand on the Discreet Cat thought, I'd like to see him tested at a mile and a quarter. The problem with racing today is people don't want to loose, so they aren't trying to do something different to test their horse. The old greats, they won at all sorts of different distances...shouldn't Discreet Cat to, if he is indeed a special one?

Two Superbowls...oh yea. If they do it right it will be a great way to promote the sport. Someone better realize this and take advantage of the time. Pre first day coverage...day one..post day one coverage...pre day two coverage...day two...post coverage. Lots of time to put horse racing out in front of the public. Makes me think of the post game golf shows that are so enticing on a Master's evenings getting ready for the next day.

Let's just hope they do it right!
