ILuvTurfRacing · It would be a major mistake on anyone's part to just summarily dismiss St Nicholas Abbey's chances of a repeat win in the BC Turf, IMO. Everything this horse likes to run his best races sets up for him perfectly in the BC Turf. SNA doesn't run well in France for 2 reasons: #1: The courses are right handed, and #2: The races they've sent him to France for in the past, I.E., the Prix Foy and Arc, are during the time of year where the ground at Longchamp almost always has quite a lot of cut. He doesn't run well at Ascot because there again, the turns are right handed. Nor is he a world class 10f horse. But put St Nicholas Abbey on a track with ground good or good to firm going left handed at 12f or further and he's capable of beating middle distance turf horse in racing. The best runs of his career have been at Epsom in his 2 G1 Coronation Cup wins. Both going left handed on fast ground. Last year's BC Turf, again going left handed on fast ground, and his very narrow defeat at Meydan to Cirrus Des Aigles in the Sheema Classic going left handed on fast ground. I sure can't rule out SNA of having a big chance of repeating with any real confidence. · 232 days ago ·

buds · I luv turf- That is very usefull information. Thats good research. I see SNA as one of the 3-4 horses that could win this race. Considering he will probably be in the 8-1 range, sounds like a good bet! · 232 days ago ·
