That statement probably lacks context since hardly any top-flight Aussie horses run here, though.

(Starcraft, by the way, did not run a bad race in the 2005 Classic at Belmont.)
If Starcraft had run a winning race I would have cashed a massive P4. Took him over St.Liam. Wish I would have l known Dutrow was so confident he bet $100,000 to win.

I was alive in the Pick 3 and my friend who I went with the Pick 4...

We needed to lose a horse so when we were at the windows STUPIDLY decided it would be Saint Liam.



(We did both think of Sightseek though when he won and had done well enough that day to be happy and shut up I am not redboarding)!

For the So You Think people... you all do realize he runs in the Champion Stakes on Satruday, right?

Is Rule going in the Classic? The DMile would prolly be alot better for him

Also if PFR does not win the OK Derby would he go onto the Classic?

I'm dying to have So You Think in the Classic field, mostly cause I think he has absolutely no chance.

Rule's best chance to hit the board, sorry, only chance to hit the board, on BC weekend is if they somehow get him into the BC Juvenile....and even then he's not a very short price to crack the Super.

As for Prayer for Relief.....he's not that good....and Baffert knows enough not to expose him in the Classic.

How come To Honour and Serve is getting no love. Can't knock his last 2 races. Are they planning on starting him in the Classic ?
