There's no stars in racing? Is that right?

The showings of any of the horses that were in the headlines last week is immaterial to the topic at hand, which was there are plenty of star power name horses on the track to interest fans/players. Many under-performed over the weekend. So what? That doesn't diminish their appeal and resonance with people interested in continuity/familiarity of star runners.

Was that Kip Deville's prep for the BC Mile? Or is he planning on running once more before late October? What kills me is I was on the wrong horse to beat him (Oper Red Dawn) and I selected the only horse that Kip could beat.
