I just thoroughly looked at the PP's for the Million. These Euro's LOOK RIDICULOUS. Ace, Solider's Hollow, Phoenix Reach and I am not throwing out Touch of Land. I went down from 1-11 so I am looking at Ace, and I am like "WOW, serious Timeform ratings, and I think he loves lasix" then I go down to Touch of Land, and I see the same progession as he took last year, and I SWEAR he made some sort of monster move in last years Million, Euro jock comes here, Then I go down to Soldier Hollow and I see 1) Douglas, great breeding for the distance, competitive timeform ratings, THEN i go to Phoenix Reach, while I am not a fan of the layoff, look at the horses he has run up against(Zenna's Rob Roy, Rakti, Alexander Goldrun, Azamour(FRIGGIN RAT IN THE BC TURF but tough in Euro), Bago (another rat but tough in euro)

Man, I am so excited about this weekend, these races are going to be awesome to watch in person...I will say this though, I am going to be in the paddock for this race because I want to see what some of these horses look ilke, if I can't make a decision, I might be going 5-6 deep in this race....
