Chance Sea the Stars comes to BC?

I think he would win the Turf or the Classic.

I think he's a great horse, but would be over the top if he came over. I'd definitely try to make $$ betting against him, though definitely not with an American horse.

I strongly agree. The list of Arc runners underperforming in the BC is just too long to ignore regardless of STS' ability. If they go it'll basically be as an afterthought and he'll be 4/5. . . if that's not an auto play against I don't know what is. Rip van Winkle seems like the one you want, but obviously it's WAY too soon to start handicapping.

He would win any colt Breeders Cup race, the only one he might have issues with is the Sprint

probably right but a mile is a tricky distance sometimes on poly

They are being nice and showing respect for the race, unlike the owner of Rachel Alexandra. They have no intention of coming, just like Rachel had no intention of running in it. The difference is his owners have class and don't want to belittle the Classic and the eventual winner. Rachel's owner showed no class by constantly trying to belittle the race as if he not running in the BC somehow made it no importance. I guess that was part political for the HOY voting but it also was classless. The winner of the Classic or Ladies Classic will have to be a very good horse this year.

Has Jess Jackson actually done anything of the sort?

Do you have any quotes or anything indicating that he's belittled the race, or are you just randomly typing until a sentence finishes if it gives you a chance to call him "classless?"

He has a problem with the surface. Agree with him or not, I am highly dubious of the fact that he's ever belittled the Breeders' Cup Classic as an event.

Maybe I'm wrong.
