Attfield is looking for an ellusive BC, 2nd with With Approval and Play the King, I don't understand why Ave wasn't entered in this field.

Muzikar said Castellano is committed by a signed contract to ride Flower Bowl winner Ave for trainer Roger Attfield in the Grade 1 Queen Elizabeth Commemorative Cup in Japan on Nov. 14. The race, contested at Kyoto Racecourse, carries a purse of more than $2.1 million.

Nick, you have to think Attfield has some regrets of not pointing her for this race, hindsight is 20/20 but Shared Account is not a horse that Ave should have any trouble with. Javiar deserves any suspension he gets, not the 1st time we have seen this, this guy has to learn his lesson. Pathetic his horse stayed up.

Castellano's horse got DQ'd.

Given the way the F/M Turf unfolded, Attfield probably does regret not running Ave. I think the distance was much more up her alley than Miss Keller's. Take nothing away from Shared Account, but she's not much horse and needed a perfect ride and perfect trip to beat Midday, who obviously was not herself.

Correct he was dq'd. I don't know why I forgot that. Midday in all the European media outlets was one of the players that was a bet against. Workforce was the other, his scratching probably cost me abit, I loved Dangerous Midge and the way he was coming up to the race, Dettori also kind of went out of his way to say he liked his chances in the interview I saw. Yeah I know he said the same about Delegator, but you kind of saw a sly smile when he was asked about Dangerous Midge.

Not according to everything I read and my European friend. Everyone over there thought she couldn't lose. There's one of those every year, and they never win.
