For the NC fans.
Racing post..... McPeek assembling team for Royal Ascot by Tom Peacock AMERICAN trainer Ken McPeek is planning to be back at Ascot this summer with possible runners in the Ribblesdale, King Edward VII Stakes and Gold Cup at the royal meeting. The Kentucky-based trainer will be getting his first look at the revamped racecourse but is still a familiar face, having saddled Hard Buck to finish second to Doyen in the 2004 King George. "We have given My Baby Baby an entry in the Ribblesdale and we will make a final decision after she runs in the Edgewood Stakes at Churchill Downs over an extended mile on Friday," said McPeek. "If she runs well there, then I would love to bring her over to Royal Ascot. "She was second on her first start and finished third behind Kentucky Oaks runner Awesome Chic in the Florida Oaks at Gulfstream Park in March. I think she will have no problem in stepping up to a mile and half. "We know the standard needed to run well at Ascot having sent out Hard Buck four years ago and I am quite excited about trying her over a further trip on turf, because she has taken to everything we have asked of her so far." Most of the current crop of top fillies are entered with the likes of Listen, Chinese White, Spacious, Muthabara, Dar Re Mi and Cape Amber all in the frame. The King Edward VII has attracted 86 colts including Centennial, Ibn Khaldun, Rio De La Plata, Tartan Bearer and Twice Over. McPeek could run Nistle's Crunch, who finished seventh behind Kentucky Derby favourite Big Brown in the Florida Derby a month ago and will run on the same card at Churchill Downs in the Crown Royal American Turf Stakes. The trainer continued: "Nistle's Crunch needs to run well on Friday and then we will seriously consider him for the King Edward VII Stakes. "He's similar to My Baby Baby in the fact that I think he will improve for a step up in trip. "I've built a two-mile right-handed grass gallop at my Lexington training establishment so it gives us time to condition our horses for the unique demands of Ascot, it's even got its own Swinley Bottom. "My first choice jockey would be Kent Desormeaux, but the timing is important and Robby Albarado rides for me a lot. "For them to ride a mile and a half is reasonably simple, but we have Drilling For Oil entered in the Gold Cup and he might be better off with a local jockey who has ridden in the race before. "I haven't been to Ascot since they redeveloped it and I am excited about coming back to see what they have done. "I hope that I am able to meet the Queen again this year, hopefully in the winner's enclosure this time!"

It is always fun to see Americans go over and run against the best the Euros have to offer. I hope he brings both of them over. Should be fun to watch.

And how doesn't that time favor, half a furlong is 110 yards, if I picture a horse running on a football field, at full speed, my guess is that is about 6 seconds...Cannonball  ....Prussian, I am not sure about. And do you see the trip he is going to get in this race, I really hope that the overmatched Gomez horse stays in the race to keep Prussian honest....
