The most interesting thing though is these guys don't just enter horses for fun. They must think he can atleast hit the board. His chances are significantly higher than some of the horses that have come from overseas and run big races ($200 payout one year I believe). The only thing I don't like about him is he probably will be overbet because of his name recognition and being the only european in there. It wouldn't shock me at all if he won. I can't say I am overly impressed with anything in the race. Lawyer Ron- looked average over Monmouth track Curlin- Not getting by the filly makes me wonder Street Sense- Not that tough outside Churchill Hard Spun- Don't think he wants the distance (although GW might not either) AGS- great effort at Monmouth, but last was slow Tiago-has to beat a top horse somewhere GW- probably won't like the distance, but it would be no shock to me with this field.

Didn't see it but his pedigree says he could run that far too and his classic last year was credible. Really comes down to how good this years group of horses are. I don't see any Invasor or Bernardini here though, so a GW win would be no shocker to me.

He has absolutely no chance. The only way anyone would even consider him would be because they don't follow racing.
He has not run one race all year even reminiscent of his form last year. Hardly surprising considering he was retired. Coolmore has run more than a few that were obviously over the top that ran up the track....like Montjeu and Hurricane Run. And they were even more, seemingly, likely on paper.

I bought into GW last year to throw him in my exotics, but not again. Danehill's just don't run on the dirt.

Furthermore, I fail to see how the fact that he ran in the race last year makes him at all interesting this year. If Flower Alley suddenly came out of retirement and entered the Classic, would he be even more interesting interesting because this would be his third straight year? I don't think so. I hope GW goes. He would be the definition of a toss.

Or they could all be ove . Lawyer Ron couldn't beat a good horse last year and the older horse division is awful. Worst in years. The 3yr old division looks great but they just take turns beating each other. A very good horse could easily beat them. You are right though that GW appears to have been better last year, but I don't think an incredible effort will be needed to beat this bunch.

George Washington has NO shot. . . I can't believe they're actually going to run him in the classic. . . I guess I could see sending him to the mile but this is just an attempt to squeeze another race out of a horse that they can't profit off of in the breeding shed. . .

If they go in the classic and lose... no big deal... they tried..... If they go for the mile and he loses.... could cost big bucks breeding....

 He got six (i think) mares in foal. It will be interesting to see what his few progeny turn out like.

Seems the wrong track to take this group on.
I think this will be a great race. Invasor's bad luck has made this interesting. I will be very excited to get to see this one.
