showing up has no chance in hell at it. turf still doesn't get the respect, certainly not in hoy voting. he could win the turf and won't win top 3 yo! showing up would have to run in the bcc to get any votes.

i can't say that bernardini is that much better than bluegrass cat. hopefully that question gets answered this wknd, their first matchup. one of those emerges as the top three year old in training, hands down, regardless of showing ups turf prowess.

Showing Up still might run in the BCC. I really could not see him winning it but I could see him winning the Turf Classic and then running in the BCC. He actually would have a better shot a winning the BCC than the BCT. No way he could beat the top europeans but if the BCC had the right pace scenario he could get lucky.

I still think the HOY voting will go Bernardini, Invasor, Lava Man. I give Bright One a small outside chance of winning the BCC but not HOY.

I don't think it really matters right now. The BCC is gonna do a lotta splaining Lucy. I do think that Invasor is planted firmly at the top and its his to lose as of now.

If the vote was today, I think it would be Lava Man followed by Invasor.
