Aww Evening Attire to run once again. Got to love this horse. The race would be better if Funny Cide would come out of retirement and race in the Mass Cap. But I love any race that Evening Attire is in.

If Perfect Drift and Funny Cide were entered in this race hypothetically...and with Evening Attire and Brass Hat in..then you would swear this was 2004 and we've all somehow traveled back in time

The funny thing of course is that Evening Attire has run in this race before....and finished second......behind Macho Uno. That is how long this old guy has been running.
I think Funny Cide finished second in this race a few years ago too....but I can't remember who won that year.

Shouldn't we all be cheering for a Fairbanks blowout victory in a 110+ Beyer to draw a lot of money come BC Day on a horse we will all toss? And really it isn't that farfetched, the field sucks and the figure makers won't be afraid to give him a good figure if he wins big again against another field that sucks.

Even if he crushes,will he really draw a lot of money in the BC?

Of course, if he opts for the Dirt Mile, it might be a different story...

He won't be a favorite but even if he draws 8-1 or 10-1 we just need another horse or two to feel solid in having already beat the takeout.

Oh, and people are overrating the draw of the Dirt Mile, it will be Corinthian, Wanderin Boy, and a bunch of other horses that want nothing to do with 10 furlongs or 6.
