Commentator

I don't understand why people think there's any chance that Commentator runs in the classic. . .

This for one:

"Commentator has trained over synthetic tracks at Keeneland and he loves them," Farmer said. "To me, the fact that the Breeders' Cup is being run on a synthetic surface is a plus for him."

I LOVE Commentator, but a mile and a quarter just seems a tad too far. Nice to see him rate in the MassCap. He's never been better.

Should I go find one of Zito's "god made dirt - not rubber" quotes? If he DOES go, he'll have almost no shot. And I'm a big fan of his.

You think Zito is going to tell Farmer to go find another trainer if Farmer wants to run the horse?

Distance has never mattered for Commentator, it is how much pace pressure he is under and at 10 furlongs he should get a nice pace setup.

Thanks for posting the 'resumes', Phil.. All 4 are impressive and each deserves consideration for HOY based on their accomplishments this year. Looks like the BC will definately determine who gets it.

Commentator could absolutely be HOY with a win in the Classic.

If Curlin, BB, Commentator, and Zenyatta got in the gate, the winner gets HOY.

Of course, that showdown won't happen, but it would certainly be interesting.

Curlin's dubai races shouldnt count.

zenyatta is looking strong for horse of the year... there are many horses who are " poly,cushion" whatever horses, if one of them wins the classic, and zenyatta wins the distaff, shes champ
