how much the best was Macho Again? Tough ride. I like Bullsbay so i don't really mind, but MA was best.
Macho has as much natural talent and stamina as a lot of these, he just hasn't had the super-trainer effect.

What's fallen off worse, the older male division in racing or the heavyweight division in boxing?

^ and by misjudging the pace, I am not limiting it to the timing of the move, but more importantly here the initial positioning of the horse. Albarado started him terribly deep at 13.5 lengths. Not only was rose about 2 lengths better positioned (eyeing it says the optimum position may have been about 8.5 lengths back), Bullsbay also saved all the ground while Macho went 4 wide and slightly brushed.

By the way, raise your hand if you thought the final time was as sharp as it was in the Test? NT

What do the Hollywood Gold Cup, Met Mile, Donn, Foster, and Whitney have in common? They are probably five of the six biggest races we've had in this country for older male routers this year so far. All were won by a horse winning their first and only grade one race. I said five of the six. The sixth would be the Santa Anita Hcp. That race was won by Einstein, who was just seen running in the Arlington Million because he's a grass horse. This is as bad as I've ever seen this division.

Think of this, since the Met Mile this is what the 2-3-4 finishers have come back to do: Smooth Air- 2nd at 7/5 in Salvatore Mile, 7th in Whitney Driven by Success- Pounded by Munnings in the Tom Fool, 2nd against NY breds in John Morrissey My Pal Charlie- badly beaten 3rd in the Cornhusker at Prairie I suppose Bribon is likely to get his next opportunity in a race that he can win in the Cigar Mile but I'd still bet against him winning a GI.
