I thought Frankel said the turf course was too soft then and was pointing him to the Pacific Classic instead, but of course he already has two horses pointing there so who knows. Maybe he'll enter all three and then scratch two for the joy of the bettors.

I think Frankel entered to "see what's up" or some similar colloquial inquiry. Saturday, Scott, yes? Am I bringing the beer or you? Hope we don't compromise the re-enactment.

You coming up this weekend? I'm definitely there Saturday. Haven't been since the 4th cause of the crappy weather and might skip tomorrow even though I have it off.

Frankel speaks the truth about as often as a politician.

I wonder why Motion did not enter BTN's pacesetter Shake The Bank?

Peculiar race upon first glance, this race is definitely crying out for some legitimate speed. Presious Passion who beat a very soft field in the UN will likely inherit the lead, he is very hard to like in here even on a soft lead with this field.

That's the same thought I had, which IMO makes Red Rocks a play against.
