Given that we haven't had a walkover in US racing since like 1980, I'm doubting this year's Jockey Club Gold Cup would be one.

that's why i put the lol yeah right....

the bid was the last. damn that guy was something.

but invasor was going to the whitney or the jcgc, and they decided on the former before bern was announced as going to the latter. but no doubt mcglaughlin knew the future plans. avoidance til the bcc.

which one is flower alley going to?

The last time a walkover occurred in a North American stakes race was on December 7, 1997, when Sharp Cat won the Bayakoa Handicap (G2) at Hollywood Park. ...

Per David Grening's article in the DRF, Invasor is still set for the Gold Cup. It's a good piece - John Ward thinks Invasor has the edge simply because he's been through the wars (not on ability) and Nick Zito believes Bernardini is just plain better.

What I liked reading about is that Bernardini was so fresh after the race, Albetrani is quoted as saying that he needed two handlers to bring him back to the barn. The horse looked magnificent before and after the race.....

I hope to be at Belmont on Gold Cup day........
