The field for this "Classic" really sucks. EC is not as good as he once was and out of 14 invitees, only 2 entered. They re-opened the race and got little of note.

I agree.....as of now ( and can't see things changing ) it looks like a horrifically bad race. Plus, there appears to be no pace whatsoever. English Channel isn't much but his competition, save Shamidan who looks like a victim of pace, may well be even worse.

It really stinks that the untelivised races will probably have much better and fuller fields than the Sunday line-up. Both the Beldame & JCGC are looking short too, no?

At least the Beldame is a good betting race with Ginger Punch the likely favorite. She's pretty hopeless in there.

All the dodging of big races, with an eye on the evil BC, has ruined high end racing. But that's old news.

King Glorious would like to know how you can say this without the PP's.

That made me laugh. It's only ridiculous if I form a definitive opinion before the draw but it's ok if the Master does it.

At least you understand who's opinions are more qualified around here. That's a start.

Has it ever. I remember when the summer was for older horses to run in handicaps to see who could carry weight and even run on turf and the fall series brought the 3 yos together with the olders to see who was best at any age. When I think about what's happened to the fall Belmont meet it truly saddens me.

I couldn't agree more.

I understand the criticisms of Fabulous Strike, and don't even necessarily disagree, but to me, it is impossible to have an informed and definitive opinion over a day before the race is even drawn. At least as far as potential contenders are concerned.

Are we all allowed to use both sides of our mouths or only u Master?

Your constant use of the term " master " is as lame as if I constantly called you stupid. It's beneath you...and you know it.

Once again, while I understand the similarities, I think they are two different situations. I am looking to beat a strong favorite who I think is overrated based on names of races and not actual performances.
