And I still am seething over the amazing Hawk Wing, who need only finish in the super on BC day to give me a 55 grand super with Volp on top and Megs to boot (with Eve Att). Sold a bill a goods on that Euro and left off Mil Brew in favor of Hawk Wing. Tough to swallow....

Be wary of Euros on the dirt. Did Starcraft and Oratorio finish yet?
You'd think such "pure geniuses and superior trainers" would have figured out in over 20 years of BC races that to win on the dirt over here that your horse has to show some speed and break running from the gate.
I imagine they realize this but lack the SKILL to accomplish training a horse how to do this.
I guess the "broke trainers" that were just referred to have a little more horsemanship and skill, because they are able to get horses to do this.
