Default Jockey Club Gold Cup

Anyone have any idea who is going in the race other than Flower Alley, Bernardini and Invasor? I couldnt imagine that too many older horses would throw their hat into the ring with these three.

there was hope that jazil would run there, but i would think that would be a hell of a comeback race for him!
invasor was going to the jcgc or the whitney, with him opting for the whitney, i wonder if sun king goes here? there's always commentator, who makes his return this wknd.

but i haven't seen anyone really commit to the race, other than bernardini....walkover?? lol yeah, right...

So Invasor is going in the Whitney? That is surprising. I am sure it wont be a walk-over. 2nd and 3rd in the JCGC is still a nice piece of change.

Given that we haven't had a walkover in US racing since like 1980, I'm doubting this year's Jockey Club Gold Cup would be one.

that's why i put the lol yeah right....

the bid was the last. damn that guy was something.

but invasor was going to the whitney or the jcgc, and they decided on the former before bern was announced as going to the latter. but no doubt mcglaughlin knew the future plans. avoidance til the bcc.

which one is flower alley going to?

The last time a walkover occurred in a North American stakes race was on December 7, 1997, when Sharp Cat won the Bayakoa Handicap (G2) at Hollywood Park. ...

What is the confusion? They ran the Whitney weeks ago and Invasor has already won that race.
