I like the idea of the Whirlaway Slam

Seriously, if CC can't do it this year then it's never going to happen UNLESS we get an even more pathetic 3yo crop in the coming years. Which would be hard to believe. This years crop makes 2008's crop look like 2007's.

I think it's no accident that the only two horses to contend in all 3 TC races have far and away the most starts. Would it shock anyone to see them finish 1-2 in the Belmont?

that's the thing, i would LOVE to see him win it, just to get people to step back and go hmmmmm.

seems to me if you treat these horses like hothouse flowers, fragile as hell, that's what you'll get.
this horse is a home bred, wasn't kept out of the paddock, away from romping because they didn't want blemishes on him for the sale. they ran him, he's got a great foundation, he hasn't been babied and coddled.

me too.

i'd love to see another handicap triple for older horses too, like they used to have. offer bonuses again, like they used to in the tc. get the horses out of the barns! offer up some real money so people will race them.
