All My Loving should love the state of the turf (if they actually race on it) but she has had a very hard season. She only ran five or six days ago, and that was an average listed race.

She got soft ground at Ascot and was beaten by Brisk Breeze. I'm stunned that she has even gone there. Would love for her to win, but thruth is that she's only a maiden winner. I would be shocked if she could win.

Firm course of soft course, your boy is still a rock-solid single in the 4th spot on all superfecta tickets.

Pretty depressing looking at how sunny and dry it's going to be Sunday on.

Really does put a damper on the day.

It really sucks! Could be the worst B.C. all time, it's too bad...won't get to see the true champions on a fair surface.

I will be honest Pat...I just refused to swallow the 5/2 that he was as they were entering the gate. I have won enough on him in the past. I just wanted to sit back and watch today. Funny thing is that I probably screamed louder today than any other time that he won and I did have money on him.

Its called being a fan.
The horse has hung around
long enough to gather a fan base
of which you might be the president.

This kind of animal is good for
the game. Getting to watch him
for a number of years and keep
his quality. Its good to see.

And yes 5/2 sux.
You got your real reward.

Didnt bet him Jay....nor did I put a dime into the Classic (only two BC Races I was at the OTB for). I have bet with my heart enough in the past to know that it doesn't always work out.
