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.

***OK, check it out:

I will take Shirocco right now and give any other horse anyone wants in a head-to-head battle in the BC Turf.....any takers?

Shirocco is being considered for the Classic.....

Read that today on both Racing Post and Sporting Life.

Interesting, huh?

Okay, I was just trying to avoid a misunderstanding. Probably shouldn't have butted in, but I'm always surprised how often a friendly bet ends up unsettled (or worse!), because the 2 parties understood the terms differently. You 2 obviously had some history to rely on, which made my comment unnecessary.

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.
