What does it say about the quality of horses in training right now - that a horse who still owns his N1X alw conditon and hails from that miserable 3yo crop of last year is 18/1.

I dont see 1 horse on this list that I would want at those odds right now. Richards Kid was bought to run on turf and synthetics. Now he is a top rated dirt horse? The entire list is sad. Has anyone seen the new Watchmaker rankings?
They are sad.... Older Male Division- Richards Kid and Haynesfield are 1-2.

This years BC Classic is probably going to be won by a developing 3yo. Something like a Summer Bird or a Tiznow type who was nowhere this time of the year during their 3yo season.

Not only was last years BC Classic an utterly horrid race - but the four favorites from it aren't coming back this year.

If Uncle Mo's only goal was to win the Breeders Cup Classic ... and they avoided the triple crown series meatgrinder - the 18/1 on him would easily be the best value on the board.

I would take either of the Candy Rides over Richards Kid, Haynesfield and Crown Of Thorns.
