tell me who will win.

or at least if you are going to start a thread about taking a stand against a horse, start one about a favorite or short priced horse you are taking a stand against.

Im hoping nobody is going to start a thread about how Super Frolic can not win either.

no offense to the author of the thread, just to the idea behind it.

heres my take, if you dont like the thread dont post, start your own!!! btw Lava Man is your winner.

ok,
I can still have an opinion on the subject without totally agreeing with the logic behind the initial post of the thread.

and how the hell can you think lava man will win the BCC with the handle that you use?
did you pick that handle without actually watching the horse run?

actually, i had a vision lol, well I want Bernardini to win (or Perfect Drift). But my Tivo begs to differ. The more I watch Lava, the clearer it gets.. this horse can dig when it counts. This observation is w/o looking at compartive stats or number.. just visuals.

If Hurricane Run were to scratch,
I would think Lava Man would have a better chance of winning in the BC Turf.
thats how little of a chance I give him in the BC Classic.

I agree 100% repent, I agree that he would have a huge shot in the turf, or even the Mile....I will be surprised if he hits the board in the BCC

I agree too. He has had a great year, and if the race was at Hollywood Park he might have a legitimate chance. As it stands....I say he finishes off the board......but in front of Giacomo.

unfortunately if the race was at Hollywood Park,
I think Ball Four or Asi Siempre would probably win the freaking BC Classic.
they no longer have a dirt main track.

you know,
I was wondering about that when watching a thing on HRTV called Pursuit of the Cup.
they were going over the contenders and I was thinking, what the hell is so tough about the BC Turf?
you take out Hurricane Run(who i am still not convinced is going to show up) and all you have is Scorpion(who has run one time in the last year), a failed European(Cacique) and English Channel.
not bad, but nothing that Lava Man could not be competitive against.
I guess they just want a shot at the bigger purse money.
thats understandable, but I dont think he hits the board either.

Given Hurricane Run's recent form...I think the 2 horses to beat in that race are EC and Cacique. Given that....wouldn't Lava Man have a better chance of trying to pull off what The Tin Man did to those two, than with whatever strategy they employ with him in the classic?

You might want to watch his races outside of Cali.
And dude, your NAME is Bernardini!!!! How can you pick against him?
