SHIROCCO TO BC CLASSIC ?

[louis finochio]

Will Fabre enter Shirocco in the BC Classic because the field is weak, or will Shirocco run in the BC Turf ?

[Black Duchess]

The owner says Shirocco will go the BC Classic (Dirt).
It will be the last race for Shirocco.

Thanks BD for your news, we will now see who has the class and heart of a champion Shirocco, Bernardini, or Lava Man.

Thats what makes the BC a great racing day, as the horses will do the talkin g instead of the voters. Lets get it on. He Haw.

I don't think Bernadini has the BC on his schedule.

If all goes well, Shirocco will run in the Arc and I hope he'll winn because he is a hell of a horse!

Today in our racing-paper: Shirocco shall run in the Arc and later in the BC (dirt) - this shall be his last race:

The decisive sentences in original voice:

"Ullmann, der selbst in Longchamp vor Ort weilte, überraschte nach dem Rennen auch prompt mit einem Super-Plan um seinen Schützling. Der Kölner Banker: „Wenn alles im Arc gut läuft, könnte Shirocco danach im Breeders’ Cup Classic auf Sand an den Start gehen“.

Im Jahr 2007 wird Shirocco definitiv dann keine Rennen mehr laufen. Auch das wurde am Sonntag bekannt. Im Breeders’ Cup Classic könnte es also die große Abschiedsvorstellung eines der besten deutschen Pferde aller Zeiten geben."

In translation: "...if he overcomes the Arc well, Shirocco might run in the BC Classic ... . In 2007 Shirocco will definitely not run any more ..."

Explain. It's been the goal from Day 1.

What link is big news?

Actually I meant Discreet Cat and not Bernadini..My Mistake

[Heidilady]

That's not news either...Discreet Cat hasn't had the BC Classic on his radar and if he suddenly did it'd be unusual. I'm assuming they're trying to get him there with the best chance and they see that as age 4. Given the connections of Bernardini and Discreet Cat, I bet they also want both horses to get the chance to get it. One's ready, the other isn't. They both have the talent. Neither may win or maybe one/both will and it's about maximizing chances I would bet.

It'd be unfortunate if they retired Discreet Cat before he had a chance to run in the Classic.

[Stevie Belmont]

I don't think the Classic is the target for Discreet Cat. I'm not even sure they have pointed him to it. I do think he is pointing to the Dubai Cup in March. Many others feel this way. I doubt they will both run in the Classic....Dini and Cat.
