has anyone ever made a scientific study to see if animals who run 2 minutes at most have any physical differences in capacities after 4 weeks, or 5 weeks, or 6 weeks ar any period of time for that matter?

Would be interesting.

Two horses of interest comes to mind, a Dubai-based runner named League Champion, who runs for trainer Rashed Bouresly. Of course, no lasix used here, and if you bleed, you wouldn't be allowed to run anyway until clearing a vet. The competition in some of these races wasn't half bad.

Travis, I want to get an early start on my handicapping. With all the rain that we've been having, what are the chances that the turf stakes will remain on the green? Thanks.

I spoke with our turf crew yesterday... unless the course is unsafe we will be on the turf. Luckily, it looks as though the weather is moving out of here and only scattered stuff will stick around. We're due some good luck!

Excellent. That course can handle a lot of rain. Thanks for the quick response.

Outside closers are winning almost everything today... off the pace is okay. Blame will be tough, Soul Warrior too now.

I'm going with Massone in here, hoping he will run them all down in the stretch.

Wow. Bonnie and Clyde couldn't have done it any better. 49.03? 1:13.11? Seriously? Nobody thought "hmm, I better go put some pressure on him"?

Glad for Godolphin but damn, I hate races like that.

Richie is making a LARGE COMEBACK. I beleive he is the regular rider of Flashing, Midshipman and now Regal Ransom.... I would not doubt if he got some of Garcias other Godolphin mounts, after the Kings Bishop DQ.... RM is working hard and he deserves this.
