but I get your point and totally agree.
it only happened in 2004 b/c the BC was at Lone Star and most Euros had no interest in making the trip.
I think Powerscourt was the best Euro to show up, and he was better in the States anyway.

The best bet around is boxing the euros in the bc turf races. The super paid like 2400 last year on a $24 bet.
Of course, you sometimes get the American horse that will come in and screw everything up but generally speaking i love it when patriotism takes hold and people make these asonine plays on some of these American turfers. Amazingly, it happens every year!
I remember when Peace Rules went off as the favorite in the 2003 mile although he hadnt turfed in a year and was breaking from the rail with a ton of speed to the outside of him. How about Shakespeare last year? Kittens joy was a fine horse but should he have gone off at THAT price? Remember Storming home? The list goes on and on.
This year it will be english channel that will be overbet and that horse wont hit the board.
