Oh, and that might be another reason the BC will suck. Is he calling it again this year?

oh god yes he is calling it, so we'll get the same stuff over and over.

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.

Listen to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uB6NdbRDVkQ

I don't think Trevor calling makes the day better.

Is it too late to lobby for the usual colored saddle cloths or

Irakus so we can actually follow the races .......

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.

Were you there last year? It was cold and miserable, and by classic time, the temps had to be in the mid-40's. Louisville isn't supposed to be that cold that early in the year.

I was down on the rail right where the starting gate is for 1 1/16 races. I thought the weather was nice. I wore a pair of khakis and a short sleeve button-up shirt.

I do hope Monmouth has better concessions that Churchill did last year.

This explains a lot.

He would have been great in previous years. He was terrible last year though. Completely failed to call Street Sense until a 100 yards out (he was all over Circular Quay's "massive" rally instead) and didn't even see Pine Island go down or notice that she was missing.

Hopefully it was nerves and not senility.

But Trevor will do... And away they go...
