you better knock on wood.

I'm starting to get nervous about the Woodward now. Last week I thought it would be no problem. Now when every single person on the planet talk like its a foregone conclusion... I start to get nervous.

It will be her biggest challenge of her career IMO... and will be a tougher race than the Travers turned out to be (which I was saying last week also).

While the older horses are nothing real special, there is still a reason that it is so unheard of for a 3yo filly to be taking on open competition on September 5th.

It's not. That's just in the United States and that's just because the purses are good enough in their own division or in races for older females that trainers are reluctant to take the risk. That has more to do with why it's not done than because it's some outrageously hard task.

I thought it interesting that Mr. West hasnt found anything else in horse racing to blog about for three months other than RA, Jess Jackson and the Assman.

Its not a question of which Its a Bird shows up, its more of a question of which Marty shows up. Will Marty be tweeting all week and after the race?

As opposed to what Asmussen's tricks? What's that saying about calling the kettle black...?
