Everyone finished up the track, im sure the road to the breeders cup next year will not go through Keenland. Sad but true all athletes get hurt when competing at the highest level possible.

Thor's Echo was training on Cushion track and so was Marysfield. Both winners on the rail yesterday.

Yea training and racing are two different things buddy. No matter who you talk to the last couple of days EVERY horse was training the best they ever had, very few ran a good race!

Although in reverse order, the top 3 horses in the juvie came off the poly.

Asi Siempre was clearly 2nd best, if not first had she gotten a clean trip.

Premium Tap got 3rd.

I don't see how you can make a case that poly hurt them in their preps. More horses who trained on dirt and were expected to run a great performance did pretty bad as well...Henny Hughes, Bordonoro, Siren Lure, Too Much Bling, Cash Included, Scat Daddy, King of the Roxy, Sun King...need I go on?
