All three are very live basically because they have a huge class edge over everyone except Curlin. Duke looks very live at this distance, but I think Raven's Pass will put in the best showing of the three. He gets Frankie Dettori and I like the fact that he is an Elusive Quality.

I'm thinking after this we can discuss the merits of Jelly Roll Rumble and his chances in the Dirt Marathon

Is it me, or are they really dropping like flies?
This entire BC is a fiasco. While I have never been a big fan, what has happened now is a travesty.

Could be that they are running 2x the number of races, which could account for the higher drop rate.
It can't be the surface though, as there are no injuries ever over synthetic. |

A BC run in mud/slop on dirt or the BC run on a synthetic surface?
And this isn't a biased question....interested in which people would rather handicap, which is a better money making opportunity, and which surface is fairer. And a dry, dirt track is not an option here. |

Personally, I would take the mud over the fake turf.
Thanks to Mike Helms' sire ratings I have been doing unusally well on the slop this year. |

Neither.
I cut way back on my wagering last year because of the slop, more so because of the bog masquerading as a grass course and I'm cutting all the way back this year. CD in '10. |
