Breeders' Cup 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.

How about a 10 million $ bonus if you win the Million-Turf Classic-BC TUrf.

Maybe they should take away the f an m turf and just make it unrestricted for a bigger purse.

I think Woodbine pays for all travel expenses and accomodations too. With the BC, you've got to supplement, etc.

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?
