Seriously what was the reasoning again?

I wasnt opposed to the turf races for 2 year olds. But the Marathon is a total outlier.

I laughed.

Watch Zenyatta go off the favorite. First time in the history of the Classic the favorite will have come into the race off of back to back Beyers in the 90's.

I'm intriqued by the Other Euro, Twice Over..

I was as well.

I'd have liked him a lot more if Sea The Stars ran and things went swimmingly for Rip Van Winkle leading in.

Hmm hope it doesn't come down to the classic in the contest. Might have to switch him to my alternate.

Dude you are the God of the Euros.. I was hopping my lead would hold up. I am gasping for the wire.
