Thank God Tres Borrachos didn't win the Dirt Mile.
Rollo dont forget Perfect Shirl too!

But yes the BC needs to market this thing differently now, its really ridiculous to call this the World Thoroughbred Championships or make it seem to be the end all be all of races. World Racing Carnival would seem a better fit, but only people oustide of America would call it a racing carnival..haha

I'm in favoring of eliminating it all together. However, as a compromise, I think that having two Breeder's Cups per year would be a decent idea. Have one in April at Santa Anita where races like the Big Cap and San Juan Capistrano are incorporated. Have the other in October at Belmont where the JCGC and Joe Hirsch are used.

Chantal's goggles from the Classic, caught by fellow DT'er Brockguy.

Of course with his connections they were immediately sent to the jock's room to be 'properly' signed. Brilliant end to a grand weekend.

he asked...and apparantly she doesn't wear them. Unless 'the guy' sent to get the autograph pocketed them.

Doubt that though as 'the guy' has plenty of panties in his collection.
