I thought a few of the horses running in the Red Smith yesterday would have had better chances than our American contingent that actually ran in the BC Turf.

Would Paddy O'Prado have made the field a little better? I thought (after entries were drawn) he would have had a better chance of winning the Turf than the Classic.

I think they need to seriously consider raising the purse another million.

It'll still be less than the Arc. Unless that race moves, the Turf will be subpar more often than not.

Agreed, the Turf is never going to compete with the Arc. But, with the Canadian Int'l 3 weeks prior and $2 million it takes horses that might run in the Turf.

He actually ran "ok" in the Classic... the race collapsed so badly he was able to make-up ground.

On the inside no less. Is it just me that thinks that the rail was completely dead?
