Couldnt even begin to speculate what his odds would be. But anything less than 99-1 is a rip off.

I cant pinch you but I had to read the article twice to make sure I was reading it correctly. Here is a link to the story in bloodhorse.

Is Frankel saying about why he's throwing BOSilver in here?

Well to paraphrase the article. Ramsey has been trying to find an allowance race for BOS and Frankel suggested that BOS was doing so good that they should try the Mile. And I guess that is all that Ramsey needed to hear. Apparently, BOS was entered into the Bernard Baruch but scratched.

I love the thought process here

- scratch out of the Benard
_ try to find an allowace race
- lets try the Breeders Cup Mile after a 11 month layoff.

This is crazy, but great. I never imagined that BOS would be put in this race off of an 11 month layoff. What a damn move! I was actually shocked when I read the topic of this thread.

Frankel can't win Breeders Cup races with clear favorites, so no confidence in taking him with a bomb here.

I doubt he runs, but if he does...I would not count him out...if his foot issues are dealt with he will be ready.

intercontinental won the turf when everyone thought she was a miler at best..

how many bc races has he won now?

badge of silver has run on turf in the past, when at his best he's good. i'd like to see him do well--and of course he'll get some exposure, as no doubt he'll retire this year, press won't hurt him a bit.

Belonged to Moses before me, the article finally came up. Not to much info, you paraphrased the hell out of it. Guess you gotta look at it like this, it will be one helluva longshot if he comes home! I'll pass though.
