Then I will leave that alone. I want sharp turns. But why not we leave it till we get a little closer and maybes the top Euros stay home. I will not go against the Euro first team on a gentle course.

Smart man....none of these American horses are of Shirroco's or Hurricane Run's caliber....the former will probably come and defend..not sure about the latters status....

i could not agree more. the BCM is another story though. Aragorn is going to be very tough. even showing up or kip deville could run a big race if they get a firm going. they both are very dangerous horses at 8f. the intriguing horses though are gorella and george washington.

Librettist and Iffraaj are both pointed to the Mile.

Much as I love Aragorn, I don't see anyone beating either or both these boys.....

Sorry Dunbar, didn't see that post last night. Like Randy said, simply who finishes in front of the other. It's just a rematch bet that we had from the United Nations at Monmouth earlier in the summer.

Iffraaj is one of my sentimental favorites but if i had to choose, right at this moment?

Librettist is a monster..... think I'd have to (cover your ears, Iffraaj ) go with him. He's something special.....

Thanks!...I've heard of Iffraaj...had not heard of Librettist...I'll try to look into both of them on your recommendation....

As for Shirocco, I read that he is going to the Arc then to defend his title in the BC Turf?....Wow on the Classic....that would be a very foolish spot to make his dirt debut - especially against what figures to be running into Bernardini....he wouldn't get a sniff of it in the Classic, while he'd probably win the Turf, especially if the course at CD remained dry like it figures to be as does most North American courses are most frequently...

No shot of Kip Deville going to the BC. I also think Gorella sticks with her own gender and runs in the Filly and Mare turf, but we'll see.

showing up impressed me. i just thought he was overbet. he did not relax which is murder on a soft course. he did beat my choice of relaxed gesture. i think relaxed gesture might be done. kip deville still looked very impressive in the one race where he finished second. he is worth a shot in the BC if he can get a really firm course, which can happen in november in kentucky. soft going is impossible for a horse like kip deville, probably hurt showing up too.
