This is a lot of weight for poor ole Arrogate to carry.

Like your idea that they should send him. Doubt they do though.

even if sent there is some real pace in this race, faster then his speed, even sent, so while I agree it is a good idea this looks like a very real pace in this race.

Never know with Smith though. He's either gunnin' or Jamie Spencering in the big races.

Travers.....
He wires in 21 days

cakes44 10-14-2017 06:29 PM

You're thinking Ghostzapper(Arrogate) vs Roses and May(Gun Runner)? I could see that.

Gun Runners very best race doesn't beat Arrogates visually shitty 2nd to Collected.
Not to mention his 2 blowout wins up here came against very soft competition. Think about one could argue the best horse he bear was Rally Cry. What's that say? I know he beat Keen Ice, but where is his fast race??

I did see that race, it was highly entertaining and profitable.

But I just have a hard time comparing the speed of collected and gun runner to american freedom.

RHT2004 10-14-2017 07:32 PM

Another problem I have with Gun Runner as the probable favorite.....Pound for pound Collected is better then him.

Collected is a major issue for Gun Runner, actually the Gun Runner camp had to be elated with Diversify winning so maybe he can keep him honest because if not than collected is definitely good enough to win that race.

Back when he was a lightly raced 3 year old, yea, on a surface he hasn't looked "flat" on.

That said, he will be on my very short list of horses I'll have in the BCC on my multis. Let's just hope I'm/we're alive to that point, which should be the case.
