And I would say the same thing to Zenyatta's connection if the BC was at CD this year and they wouldn't ship there.
At least you're fair with your criticism.

For all this safe and conservative talk, one thing is a certain Zenyatta will be on the biggest stage of racing this fall, RA may or may not. To me Zenyatta's connections got it right this time not RA's.

You really can't give them credit for this, can you? It fell in their lap

I don't care about patting them on the back or not, I think we all want to see the best horses on the biggest stage. As a fan and horseplayer this is all that matters to me.

Even though her record over the last 3 years is just 1-for-13 ....

I think Anabaa's Creation is deserving of a re-match.




And even though she hasn't won a race in over a year - and that win was against Cal Breds - Lethal Heat deserves some love as well.




I just hope we see some good Euro fillies on Breeders Cup day.

Lethal Heat is a fine Cal bred.. She doesn't owe anybody a penny.

So, just curious....

How many of you really honestly think having the Breeder's Cup at Santa Anita was a good idea?

No one thought it was a good idea (except for the braintrust at the BC and SA). But it is what it is. At least it wont rain.

I thought last year's BC was one of the better one's I have witnessed, the only one's against this are the traditionalists who probably have their own agenda's.
Ie. The sore losers

I love the idea from a personal side, there is almost nothing better then watching races at Santa Anita 15 feet from the finish line for $10, drinking maragaritas served to you by hot struggling actresses, and jumping up in down because some crazy horse this Irish guy gives you wins easily.....

Not me. Didn't bet a dime last year and won't do so again this year.

Sheriff's listed first time at a new distance as one of the reasons that he didn't want to run in races like the SA Handicap so that is very, very doubtful.
