The eyeroll wasn't meant for you Zig. It was for the title of the thread, I didn't have to read the accompanying story to know that it would make me want to....

Didn't he just carry 128 in Dubai? I think this may be Asmussen's way of getting Churchill to thow another $5 million from their "special fund" to get him to come. I mean, they were already throwing extra money and he was already coming so why not try to get more? Especially with that big money offer from Suffolk, which by the way, will never happen now.

I can't figure out why a)they carry 126 in the TC and that's not a problem, and b) 2 lbs more is gonna dent his ability.....they're really just mad the other horses got so little in comparison and it's not their fault they're facing a reigning HOY and World Cup winner. He's done so well they get the break. He can carry the weight just fine. Asmussen needs to grow up and take a shot. And I though Frankel was whiney about weight. Not that it's something to crow about in terms of weight-carrying but they won't give him 130 plus out of fear and that's not right. Tracks shouldn't be bullied with a 'I'm gonna take my horse and go home' when they're trying to do what the conditions call for and handicap the bloody race. That's their job.
