  • Floridaf · What an amazing race! Exceller may have won it, but Seattle Slew certainly did not make it easy. I wish we saw races like this on a frequent basis still. · 508 days ago ·

  • travel_vic · The Slew crew were nuts....Recall when Slew O'Gold needed bute in the inaugural BC Classic. The ones who had screamed the most about its use, overloaded the poor guy and he was sick from the high dose, all to get him to that race. It was obvious mid srtretch that he had nothing in the tank anyway. Hypocrites who rad too many of thier wone press clippings · 508 days ago ·

  • cugel the clever · For better or worse, there is always a bias towards those horses which can win major stakes at a route. This will eliminate Caleb's Posse. AK, if he'd campaigned the whole season, probaly would have been the 3yo champ. But there's no way he should be given the Eclipse given his short campaign and the quality of his major rivals for the award. · 545 days ago ·

  • shadowno · Unless Stay Thirsty pops and wins the BCC this should be a no brainer for Animal Kingdom. He won the race they all wanted to win, ran a big Preakness and was injured likely during the running of the Belmont. Even with a BCC win it doesn't get any bigger than Kentucky Derby. · 590 days ago ·

  • RaTalk_Girl · shadowno, interesting thoughts. I cannot disagree that every 3 year old wants that Derby win, but is it really enough. I do think that your argument about his Preakness run could change my mind. He looked great in the Derby and I do not think the way he ran in the Preakness is second to anyone. It will be interesting to see what the rest of the season brings. · 590 days ago ·

  • Mike in SB · I thought Havre de Grace's win was the most impressive of the weekend by far, and with Flat Out winning the Gold Cup, she has to be the favorite for the Classic. Actually a lot of the Breeders Cup races are starting to look pretty good. Havre de Grace, Uncle Mo and the rest in the Classic makes it look like a better race now than it did a few months ago and the Ladies Classic looks wide open now. If the Arc Winner comes over and So You Think runs in the Classic this could be a very good Breeders Cup. · 597 days ago ·

  • DeadHeat · Mike I completely agree about the Classic. The fact that you have some definitive stars now makes the race come up much better. I mean with the list of horses i said in my blog, there are what 6 grade one winner heading for the race? Makes it look much more competitive. · 597 days ago ·

The 5-year-old Flat Out and the 70-year-old trainer Charles “Scooter” Dickey earned their first Grade 1 on Saturday afternoon as the bay horse came from off the pace to score a 2 ¼-length victory in the $750,000 Jockey Club Gold Cup on Super Saturday at Belmont Park.Read More
  • jasen.mangrum · Super excited to see Flat Out & Scooter Dickey win the Jockey Club Gold Cup. Scooter used to run horses at The Woodlands back in the day, so its nice to see all that hard work pay off. Hopefully he'll get rewarded more at the Breeders' Cup in a few weeks. · 599 days ago ·

A.P. Indy is making his presents felt this year, 6 out of the 10 possible runners are his grandsons.
Here are my picks for the Jockey Club Gold Cup: 1. Stay Thirsty: Has had two previous impressive wins in his last two starts. He just seems to get better and better. 2: Flat Out: Put in an impressive two second place performances. Haynesfield: He won this race last year over Blame, a excellent horse. 4: Rail Trip: He hasn't had a great season, but could pull a surprise.

The Headline would have read that Tizway had it His way in the Gold CupProving once again that an older horse defeated a younger horse. for what's his names information Curlin Won the Gold Cup in '08 as a four year old. hus considered an older horse.

  • Rossington · Honestly, Tizway being knocked out the JCGC will very much put me off of him in this year's BC Classic. I think this was a race he very much needed to run in. For one thing, Tizway hasn't ran over a 1-1/4 since the 09' JCGC, and he ended up a distant 3rd that day. Some 5 or 6 length's behind Summer Bird and Quality Road. I think Tizway needed to cover this 1-1/4 at Belmont again to get him fitter for the taxing Churchill Downs 1-1/4 that's coming in the BC Classic. TJMO. · 607 days ago ·
