After a few days of reflecting on this race....Before the race I have to be honest and DIDNT want BB to win the TC... I understood S.B.for his saying ""why shouldnt we have a TC winner"" & other guests on last weeks shows. Of course the trainers comments may of pushed me away, but I come back to the thought of BB being listed with the other TC winners..
[maybe Im old school ].... But a horse with only 6 races... ( 5for5 ) before this race, just has not earned the respect of the other winners. YES I know that ( todays game ) today its all about the $$$$'s...and the shed NOT the track. I remember hating Spend A Buck when the owner took the Millions from garden state and didnt even try for a TC. Was it me....or did EVERYONE think BB had this race won by just showing Up. A old gamble once told me.. When the General Public loves a side....Bet the other team.
I think we will see BB going the route of the Travers and then right before, (we will be told ) that the foot is a problem and Off the Shed he will go, and everyone will put the $$$'s in their pockets and smile all the way to the bank.
I would be nice to see him come back and race to the breeders cup classic and just see how good he is.
