So the Apple Blossom works out to be roughly a 7 month layoff--which was greatly criticised for Zenyatta last year ...

Both sides have indicated a willingness to pony up and do this meeting, but there are rumors that Rachel may not quite be Rachel as yet, or maybe more ...

Rumors can be just that or something else again ...

Uh-oh … Asmussen probably has the lab boys working round-the-clock on some new 'vitamins'................. lol

Uh, tector, did you watch those two Euros destroy Curlin in the '08 BCC.

They clearly had no problem with the "plastic".

Did you see how the Euros fared against Big Mama last year?

The Plastic Mama sure showed them, as did turf champion Gio Ponti.

A couple terrific performances on Championship Saturday … while the so-called 'Horse-of-the-Year' was lying in her stall getting fat...

09 "Euros" are just the same as 08 "Euros" because...you say so? You can't even bother to name them. Euros just equal Euros to you--brilliant. What deep thinking.

Horses are individuals. You have no idea how the 09 Euros would run on plastic without seeing them do it.

What a dopey, simplistic "argument".

Uh, tector, there were at least two Euros which won Cup races on Pro-Ride last year... and others which ran well … including the one (Twice Over) which was no match for Big Mama in the Classic.

Btw, the same TO which beat '08 BCC winner Raven's Pass that year in Europe.

Is there a point to this? Let's see if anybody, besides you, can see it.

Other than the fact that we've been spending the last two years running our country's biggest "dirt" race over a course that not only disadvantages dirt horses, but makes it so they literally cannot win? That we're running our country's biggest "dirt" race over a course that turf horses are willing to run on, when they wouldn't be entering were the biggest "dirt" race actually run on dirt?

Outside of that, I see no problems with it.
