i wouldnt expect anything

it's Santa Anita, u forget the last couple breeders cups? Conveyor belt city.

Last time, the trainers from out of cali were pissed. Even the turf is screwd up. ur not 2 wide or less, u have no shot.

Hopefully they leave the track alone and it plays even. But then again, the reason they boat the track up, is so their horses have a shot.

breeders cup needs to stop going to cali every other year.

gulfstream
arlington
churchill
monmouth
woodbine
santa anita let them rotate, and each track has a shot every 7 years to run it. Tired of Cali tracks and the breeders cup. I realize its a circle jerk for the hollywood people and their cliques, but its supposed to be about the racing.

last 2 times, horses didnt even get a shot to compete on that bogus surface.

I am going to ask a very dumb question...


Could the Breeders Cup go to Dubai or England? I know England and Australian races are run clockwise though.

no

Dubai already has their version of breeders cup day. (Dubai world cup day)

And the cost to ship to england, would make it a nightmare, plus travel, etc

Gantry freaking hated the surface. Didn't run a step in 2012, and he's usually as honest as they come.

New dirt this year, so I'm interested to see how it plays today.

Going to try to remember to watch hopportunity's race back later today.

Just saw they lost zenyatta's war front baby. As stated earlier, I was totally team Rachel, but it is still sad. First filly.

I heard about this. My buddy handles War Front. Just a really shitty part of the game. I'm trying to handicap these fricking races, but I'm getting cross eyed.

They are mostly wide open. I'm going to try for some prices and be fine if I lose.

The war front cross is my favorite so far for her and it really sucks that it was a filly.

The owner lost Gantry's little half bro (warrior's reward) to a paddock accident. Devastating. I hope they go back to war front for Z this year.

Z Princess was almost a spitting image of her mom

Happy BC eve to you too, Aspy!

Hoping to jump some big pools at racks outside Cali tmoro. Nothing better than "newbie" money thrown into pools outside the BC.

Any thoughts on having the track juiced up for goldencents on the front end?

It's Santa Anita, so speed always holds

Even though it is new dirt, I still expect them to have it ironed out to concrete.

I am going to throw him out. To me, I have seen horses look amazing there one year and not run a step the next. Ironically, the two horses I love the most are by Tapit. And no, It's not because of my family affiliation with Gainesway.

You will definitely get some value. Goldencents is pretty much considered a lock by everyone.

Obviously, I'm hoping to see vicar get there, but I'm way too realistic to think it will happen,

So 90% of that field wants the lead. I think Fed Biz and Vicar's can challenge enough for a stalk or close, so I'm trying to get some value. I just remember some horses that ran huge BC races at SA and came back to SA and got killed. Playing that angle.

Usually the dirt mile feels like an afterthought.

This is a pretty good field.

I say pants on fire is forgotten (everyone not betting goldencents is jumping on tapiture), so he may end up going off at a good price. I'm definitely using him.
