It just keeps looking more and more amazing all the time

Somehow? Just take a look who was riding that horse in the preakness and there is your answer

What is this important? I didn't bother to look at all the running lines but:

Mine that Bird and Dennis of Cork were last for a good part of the race and picked up horses as the race fell apart. And they, along with Super Saver LOST GROUND for one call in the race. Clearly, losing a position is irrelevant/impossible in the case of the two that were LAST, and for Super Saver, losing ground between the 1st and 2nd call is as relevant as losing a position, since others were gaining that split. This points to how good a trip he got.

Well - Bailey riding and Lukas training. Ten Cents a Shine looked more like 800/1 than 8/1.

Just like the 2001 Jim Dandy when Bailey won on Lukas trained Scorpion. 12-1 shot looked more like 50-1 plus.

I remember this thread. Is Borel on anything live?

Just a word of advice, I am looking long and hard at the mounts of 3 jocks: Borel, Albarado, and Leparoux.

Good advice Golfer... This means that I now have to go back and re look/re think the whole damn thing again... AAArruughhh

I can not remember a Breeder's Cup so damn difficult and my head is spinning I tell ya with trying to figure this and that out in every dang race...Just to look it again later and change my mind yet again

I think it was easier when it was on synthetics. All you had to do was throw the dirt horses out...
