The Jockey Club Gold Cup was a 2 mile race until 1975.

Yea, I think the early 70's was the last time they breed real horses. Now they are pansy's, head to the shed row, before we break down

I like the six, Honor Prayer.

something funny you don't hear very often, the one horse picks up 30lbs from his last race!!

I'll give you an over/under of 3:31 on this race. Take your pick.

The 1 was scratched. Guess they didn't like the 147 pounds.

I imagine the jockey was bummed-- "Man! I was SO going to eat lunch today!"

Nice call. 3:36.99. They went the first mile about 5-6 seconds slower than I guessed they would (1:42 was my guess for the mile + a 1:49 second mile.)
