He did stop riding him which may or may not have cost him 3rd but honestly he ran better than any dirt horse all day and was spinning his wheels at the 1/2 mile pole. He ran 4th on talent alone, he hated the surface. I talked to Tim Ice after and he was happy with the result, he lost nothing in defeat IMO and obviously is 3yo champion male and the early 2010 BCC favorite.

I'm not including Rachel in the weather forecast. Otherwise he's the clear 2nd choice.

as nice as it was in Louisville this weekend, there is no doubt it will be raining and bitter cold next year.
