If this year's races were at Santa Anita or Del Mar, Golden Horn would've romped... although Flintshire would've ran and Fabre says that he is amazing on firm ground while running left handed.

Now this smell's, first of he gets the ground to his liking and then the one pace horse in the race is out. Hmmmm

Grand Slam

Is that you 2nd on the ATR Breeders Cup tipping contest PJR?

Can somebody tell me why all the races are late off, The Classic is meant to be 9.35 but is actually going to be 9.50 why? There seems to have been on rush in any previous races.

Can't tell you. If it were at Gulfstream we'd still be waiting for the Juvenile Fillies race to start. So be thankful.

To give the public as much time as possible to bet, they want that money in the tote.

I think the worst course is Tampa, they just saunter around there. But I love the course in winter.

Cheers. Why have times for times then, they should just say inbetween 9-35 and 9-50. Seems silly to be honest but theres alot of silly things in american racing

They don't have official off times like us.

There's a lot of silly things happen in horse racing full stop - wherever you are!

As Gleneagles will prove in the Classic very soon......

NBC wants to get everything in before the race.

Watched the post parade, Gleneagles and Effinex won the eye test. Frosted looks very poor today.

Didn't see Frosted. If it's the case and judging by his Derby race I wonder if he gets bothered by big crowds?

I've said all season long he's softer than butter. If he cant win easy then he will throw in the towel. I think he has no chance but Gleneagles trotting nicely.

Outstanding run but the time was awful.

Wow! American Pharaoh - couldn't have been any easier.
