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

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.
