I agree, but it is nice to see the PP's of the non-American horses as well to see the competition more clearly. But now that I have them, I am sure to place a wager or 2.

Thank you for posting the link for these, whodey!

Betting these races to me, is no different from others. And no, its unlike gambling on slots.

One does need some understanding of Timeform Ratings and to be able to closely note Euro comment lines.

They can be great races for wagering and fabulous to watch for the pagentry and excitement.

The Timeform Ratings are just absolutely lacking. I feel naked with just these things and no race replays. I will watch for the pagentry.

I wonder if they will have an award for the "best turned out" horse in each race like the Turfway stakes races. Nothing like a best turned out trophy. I daydream about braiding. Especially horse hair.

Thanks for the link. I'm sure I will not wager, but they are nice to look at.

You now have by far my favorite name of anyone on this board.
I considered naming myself Sunday Silence on here, but I didn't think I could live up to it. He is without question my all-time favorite racehorse.
Welcome to this fantastic board....and may you live up to your name.

Well thank you very much! I just discovered this board and am very happy to be here! As for living up to Sunday, well, I don't know if that is possible. Great racehorse, great stallion!!! I will never forget that beautiful boy.
