AP Indy but maybe Street Cry is the heir apparent.

oh, yes, of course, and such a strange way to lose her. (Nashoba)

Well, Zenyatta won, as expected, but the filly/mare that impressed me this Breeder's Cup was Goldikova Zenyatta will have to face the top colts and win to be considered like they were talking on tv: with Personal Ensign.

In twenty plus years, this was the first BC that I hit rewind on and erased both days.......... :?

Curlin came in 4th :( I wonder if he has had enough of racing?

I think Curlin had a long season and he didn't take to the surface very well. He deserves either a long rest or retirement. That's up to Mr. Jackson. He's danced every dance, became the leading North American money earner...what more can he do?

Hey Barbaro (love your icon)

He deserves HOY, look what he's done. He's prob. tired, and it also looks like he's getting that big stallion weight on him also.

Not that I don't like Zenyatta, but she's gotta beat boys, and I don't mean 4K claimers either, I mean the top of the line boys like Goldikova or Zarkava did, to get HOY

How many outs did Curlin have this year? Tired, I don't think so.
He looked fantastic. He got outrun. That doesn't mean he goes from a champion to a dog. It just wasn't his day.

i like jess jackson. he is really old school. back in the old old days, you ran in big races. you lost some, and it wasn't the end of the world.

In re Unbridleds Song: Was just pondering that given the great breeding potential she has, if they ever meet in the future, in spite of their big sizes.
But such a topic corresponds to another section, reason for which I don't wish to open it here.
