Early Breeders' Cup Projections...

Joel, seriously, I couldn't possibly disagree more with you. That doesn't make me right but I would say we have a basic difference of opinion about the game.

Unfortunately, we'll never know how Gorella will do at 1 3/8 if she doesn't run it. As for her running against horses like Aragorn... I'm sorry, but I just don't think she has a chance. I'd cheer her on if she was proving me wrong though.

Juv Fillies - Point Ashley
Juv - Principle Secret
Mile - Gorella if she goes
F and M Turf - Ouija Board if she goes
Sprint - Henny Hughes
Distaff - Baletto
Turf - Hurrican Run
Classic - Sun King

I like him too. I really think that this year he is beginning to figure this racing thing out. He has been improving in every race. He will be in my tris because he tries hard everytime. IMO, he will be in one of the top three spots at the finish line.

I agree as well. I didn't like him very much last year, but I think he's coming into this own and it'd be nice to see him hit the board in the Classic.

Yeah. Now after Gorella wins her race (whichever she goes in) I will be a happy camper. But then when I cash a nice one on my Drifty/Sun King/Bernardini tri, I will be ecstatic!

Hilarious, Buffy. I'm going to make a guess that Bernardini doesn't hit the board at all. I say 4th or 5th... Here is my prediction:

Perfect Drift
Invasor
Lava Man
Sun King
Bernardini

HAHA

I think that this horse will hit the board in the Classic. Depending on how he runs in his next start, I may even put him on top in a few exotic bets...We'll see.

If the field for Classic is what I think it is going to be then I love Sun King in this race. He is really the only horse who can make a strong middle move. Churchill plays right into his running style. I will be in Louisville the week of the BC and I will report back on how Sun King is doing.

Cool! Thanks Euro. Fill us in on what you see with all the horses.

Thanks Euro. Any information will certainly be appreciated on this end.

Bernardini is the most amazing and intelligent looking animal I have ever laid eyes on. I was seriously wow'ed everytime I saw him at Saratoga. He knows he is King of the Land.

Honestly, Gorella can win either race she enters. I don't think the distance is going to matter. Put that closing kick up against any horse and I think she comes out the victor. If she is in a longer race, jock will just wait a little longer to unleash the beast. If she goes in the mile, we will just see it earlier.

I would personally like to see her in the mile again because she was so close last year (3rd; lost by a length), and she didn't have the best of trips. Love this mare. With that being said, Aragorn sure is nice too.

I was VERY mad at Gary last year after that ride. I know it wasn't REALLY his fault, but I was still mad at him.
