It's amazing how married my mind (and others here) is to fractions... kinda lost w/out them. Watching races w/out fractions and the different style of racing is very challenging.

I hope he heads our way!

The racing in Europe is so much nicer to watch. The US could use some non oval racetracks. The way they filmed that is just brilliant.

The horse is just an absolute star. I don't remember anything like him with the exception of Secretariat and maybe the Doctor.

Sounds like he already is getting his winter coat and is not coming to the US. There is nothing here that really could beat him anyway. He would probably just win with Mastercraftsman and the other European running 1-2-3.

Good news is Gio Ponti is likely for the Classic. Good for him. I think he will put in the best US effort.
