Never a fan of "blinkers on" in turf races. Any idea why they're making this equipment change?

He has worn a visor the last few years so dont really know why they are switching to blinkers. I know for him, he used to race far too lazily and the visor certainly sharpened him up. I believe this has been his aim for the last few months and I expect a big run at a nice price..

What are your thoughts on Rainbow View?
Im surprised they having Julien to ride if they are seriously considering her for the F&M Turf, since he is the rider on Augustin's Forever Together.

Gosden said this in a Jay Hovdey column last month:

"The $2 million Ladies' Classic on Nov. 6 would be Rainbow View's most likely target.

"Is Zenyatta running there?" Gosden asked. "Well, we wouldn't be frightened to run against her. Our filly will love that surface."

Uh-oh, here we go again."

I would say the addition of lasix would be the key change for him in the Can Intl. his connections have used this angle before and he has reportedly worked well with it already.

Euros add to International puzzle
By Ron Gierkink

http://www.drf.com/news/article/108141.html

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - The field for Saturday's $2 million Canadian International is far from the strongest in the 71-year history of the race, but it's an excellent handicapping puzzle with many possibilities. The sharp European runner Jukebox Jury will likely be favored in the Grade 1 stakes, which also has lured the defending champion, Marsh Side, Just as Well, Champs Elysees, and Buccellati.

He hit the fence 2 back and lost all chance in the Coronation and was basically eased, his form looks worse than what it really is, I hope no one reads this board but Buccellati is my bet if he is near the 10-1 ML. Andrew Balding has already won a few throughout the years at Woodbine if my memory is correct.

I like him too, although I shall root for Quijano once again (even though he'll disappoint). (Again).

Treat Gently, Eastern Aria in the EP Taylor.

An interesting betting board with many chances, I can see the majority of the money landing on:

Just As Well, Champs Elysees, Marsh Side and Jukebox Jury.

Leaving Quijano and Buccellati as the value.

Spice Route and Allied Forces will be the designated longshots.

I like Champs but he wont be a good enough price to take on a horse who so often disappoints for one reason (excuse) or another.

The horse I am most inclined to play out of these WO races is Heros Reward, who likes the track and has always been a competitive force in these sprints. He may be an overlay because of Jungle Wave, who I think goes off around even money.

Im just keying Jungle and going 4-4 behind it.... Not putting a lot into this because I dont think Jungle can get beat, so I wont spread trying to beat him.

Was hoping for better odds, but Look Here in the EP Taylor for me.
