HR is coughing and has been scratched from the BC Turf.

Motivator is ok and is coming across the pond to run in the BC Turf.

hi louis finochio

You wrote "(Hurricane Run) is coughing and has been scratched from the BC Turf."

Maybe so...but sometimes I get a sense that Team Coolmore might be better at spinning a tale than J. K. Rowling.

Maybe Team Coolmore ought to check HR for a hernia while he's coughing... :lol:

In my sense this the case: Hurricane Run showed enough for becoming a stud next year so why you take a risk Montjeu doesn,t liked the hauling.
So why taking the risks, I think this is the Coolmore view.
Motivator lacks after his Epsom win, another pearl in his crown, so for making up he desparate need a big one.
Remember much of the Montjeu stock are sensitive, and temperamental.
Scorpion was sweating all over in the L,arc and was allowed, not to take part in the pre parade , by the stewards

If the Montjeu's dominate in the US like they have in their home land, they will become the new stallion sensation in Montjeu.

It will be worth the wait to see if this plays out positive or negative.
If Montjeu is the diamond in the rough, he will break the sound barrier in the US as his offspring will dominate on this side of the pond as well.

hi BenB

I hadn't previously heard the "sensitive and temperamental" (your words) description re: the Montjeus...interesting.

As always...I appreciate your comments and insights.

hi louis finochio

I look forward to seeing Motivator perform in the BC.

Many of the turns on the European courses are more sweeping than we are used to seeing in North America. I always look forward to seeing how the European runners handle tighter turns (although they are not particularly tight at Belmont)...and non-undulating courses in North America..

Montjeu seems to be a wonderful sire and I look forward to seeing any of his offspring that come onto the racing scene in the USA.

The comment was loud and clearly made by Willie Carson, just before the start of the big one. Most of his progency are tendious to temperamental
etc
They love as most from saddlers wells, cut in the ground. So I don,t think
it are THE GRASS horses, you,ll need in the states. But Belmont park in the end of october, could supply them with a little bit europe circumstances.

The siginificence of the BC is to bring together TB from all parts of the globe and test them for their class as they compete against one another.

This is a great event as the TB dont have to depend on the voters to decide who is top dog in each TB division.

Thank you John Gaines for your great idea of creating the BC for us TB fans to enjoy, as the TB will do the talking on BC day.

Hopefully Montjeu's offspring run better in the Breeders cup than Montjeu
himself as he was smashed in the BC as chalkie by Kalanisi.
