i wouldn't say easily...especially since the yielding turf at Belmont won't be anything like what she'll get at Hollywood. But with Bourbon Bay passing on this, it's probably her race to lose. I kind of like Where's the Remote to bounce back, and Worth Repeating has a good chance, too.

Where else can one become a grade 1 winner beating less, I love grade 1 turf races but this is bad.

I think it shows how shallow the american distance turfers are now, its 250k, thats a lot of money.

Why is this race being run in November? Before, it was after the Hollywood Derby in the middle of December, allowing for some 3yos to tackle elders and a marathon distance late in the year.

A horse like Paddy O'Prado (in retrospect he should have been in the BC Turf) or Winchester might have even showed up for it if there was an Eclipse Award at stake.
