2009 Breeders' Cup

[Hoist Her Flag]

I can see why the King has the "romp" but it is very interesting, and I think that even the people that don't think she can win are a little afraid. I don't think she will win, but I do think she will love the distance, my questions is will Smith have the guts to take her inside. Every single race he has done that wide loping move, the pace should be solid with Quality Road and Regal Ransom I think Rip and Einstein will pressing possibly Girolamo. If the pace gets quick Zenyatta could be right there on the turn, and if Smith goes inside I could see here winning. Much to my wallets dismay.

Mike Smith has been aces (12 winners) in the BC, tied with Pat Day for 2nd most I think, behind Jerry Bailey who has 15. But he's had some amazing help underneath him, a few of them like Skip Away, walkovers. Still, hes brought his best riding to the biggest day. Most of these were favorites or 2nd choice in the wagering....
