It's not like those races get a lot of horses shipping in.

You thinking of Arson Squad?

only 2 horses in the classic division out west better the bd- lava and surf- the rest bd can run away from

Isnt there some high priced horse out there that just broke his maiden like last month? I cant think of the horses name. You also have to remember that BD is going to have to race on a synthetic surface. I wonder if that it going to play into the plans at all. Who knows if they will keep him out west.

When does Santa Anita have to switch to a different surface?
