Or he finishes out of the money and retires. Probably not many other possibilities in between for this horse.

I guess I agree as he is hot or cold, hit or miss type. But this is clearly the easiest spot for him yet this year. The Churchill race field might have been softer overall, but when he broke slowly he had no prayer. In this spot he will be fine even with a slow start, even though it's obviously not ideal.

Not saying I'm not with you...it's just been a rough start for him so far this year. What are you thinking for price?

7-5, if that. He is a BC Classic winner. I won't be betting, just hoping he bounces back.

No doubt. Not even sure that was a Grade 2 field and he couldn't keep up with Appealing Tale.

It was an improvement at least. And Bayern had to duel Appealing Tale.

But, a GI level horse with his resume should outduel Appealing Tale and kick on.

An improvement? Was there any other way to go from his last?

I guess not.

In his last two races, I thought the presence of Private Zone is what messed him up. It sounds like the track was deep and tiring, and maybe Appealing Tale is a better horse than given credit for.

Appealing Tale showed heart and guts, beat Bayern fair and square.

I think he's done. I mean at least he.broke today, so that was a positive. But the 2 outran him fair and square. Then the 6 beats them all. Bayern is a little like Commentator, they both were hit or miss, and needed things to go there way. When things did they both could run monster races.

Bayern is just off form and is no longer same horse, he's hardly the worse BCC winner. He was a legit winner and was a good horse

Commentator's issue was mostly soundness. Although he could be beaten in a heated duel (like the sub :44 half in the Tom Fool) or when hounded by rabbits (Woodward), he certainly held his own or overcame strong pace setups numbers times.

If you follow his race record, you will note that most of his losses were succeeded by layoffs on average of about 6 months. I believe he had an old shin fracture, and those often limit the number of starts a horse can make in one season, but they tend not to affect a horse's class or ability. Fortunately, he was gelded, so he was often brought back to the races.

Bayern on the other hand, has folded like a cheap suit repeatedly, and more so this year than last. Perhaps whatever held him back from making his 4yo debut this year has also caused him to lose a step (or two).
