medlocke · If Jerry Hollendorfer is genuinely serious about running Blind Luck against the boys in this year's Breeders Cup Classic, instead of taking her to the Ladies Classic, then I think this is a very smart decision on his part. Better to see how she'll handle 10f against the colt's in something like the Pacific Classic or the Hollywood Gold Cup. Doing that should give Hollendorfer a good sense of where his filly would stand in the Classic division. I always felt that John Shirreffs should have done the same thing with Zenyatta before her first Breeders Cup Classic run in 2009. · 172 days ago ·

cigar · A lot of people are talking about this horse, but I'm confused. Ice Box beat Make Music For Me with a trip that was lengths worse. Both enjoyed a dream pace setup as well, one which is unlikely to manifest in the Belmont. On second thought, let the buzz drive these guys and their prices down...! · 627 days ago ·
