I somewhat agree with all of that except for the location part. Nothing wrong with the Jersey shore, and the weather is going to be about 2,831 times better than it was at Churchill last year.

like whenever a horse in a route race takes a clear lead into the backstretch they are always "just loping along, ears pricked, taking it all in". if i hear that again i will scream. aren't the other loping along with their ears pricked? or is it only the leader who is on a clear lead? "moving like a winner" |

If there is one horse I really don't care about that is running, it's Discreet Cat. He so jumped the shark like two races ago.

Unlike others, I personally feel like having Trevor call the races makes the day that much better.

The weather at Churchill last year was nice. It was cool in the morning, but it warmed up later in the afternoon.
I was looking at the PP's yesterday trying to come up with some possible pick 6 tickets and I was thinking, man what a horrible Breeders Cup. |

Come on, they had the Breeders Cup at Lone Star three years ago, people! Lone Star! At least Monmouth has some kind of tradition and a few big GI races. Monmouth is aesthetically pleasing a track as there is outside of Saratoga and Del Mar.

I don't know how it's going to turn out. Could be some exciting races. But going in, this is the least excited I've ever been about a BC. Even the Classic, likely to determine HOY, is far below the standard that this race should be at. Only one horse in the field has ever run a figure higher than 115 and only four have gone over 110. Nobody in the Distaff field makes anyone think of Paseana or Personal Ensign or Go for Wand or Bayakoa. Hell, not even Pleasant Home. None come close to reaching the level that is par for this race. Take out Midnight Lute's 124 outlier and the best we have for the Sprint is Idiot Proof's 113. The run by Dylan Thomas is nice to have since we don't usually get the Arc winner anymore. The addition of George Washington has added at least a little intrigue. The craziest part about all of this is that the most exciting horse, the one everyone will be anticipating seeing the most on the card will be running Friday. Discreet Cat is still the one people want to see.
