BC OUTS: Prayer for Relief, Gung Ho, Medaglia d'Amour..

Flashpoint retired now.

They better move some horses from the Dirt Mile into the Sprint.

Did I read Trappe Shot is going for the longer race? Also, given the right pace scenario, I think Jackson Bend might be a better fit in the Sprint.

He got beat by a few lengths to the best BSF at a mile plus all year. Now its cut back time? He is a small horse and not exactly the fanciest of blood lines, I would assume his market value as a stallion could materialize if he won the Classic, he has a decent shot why not hope Uncle Mo throws a klinker?

Freddy, you are debating the chances of Jackson Bend in the BC Classic. Suffice to say, you will win that argument...because no one else logged on here is high on 'shrooms right now. Kudos.

By the way, maybe Jackson Bend doesn't need it, but certainly it's time for you to cut back...

Sadler described the injury as a “little strain. The timing is such that we could bring him back, but he’d need 60 to 90 days off.”

FFS, give him the 60-90 days off and bring him back next year.

"little strain" + 60-90 days off + miss Breeders Cup = Retirement

I just don't get it, sometimes

Talk about wasting a horse's year.
