This is unreal and what the heck is Frankel thinking. The horse hasnt started since Jan and he is going to make his next start in the hardest of BC races. Man.....I am totally shocked by this.

Wow. Gee, why not, it worked for Peace Rules, right?

That is an interesting move off such a layoff, what do you think the ML will be 45-1 or higher?

Couldnt even begin to speculate what his odds would be. But anything less than 99-1 is a rip off.

I cant pinch you but I had to read the article twice to make sure I was reading it correctly. Here is a link to the story in bloodhorse.

Is Frankel saying about why he's throwing BOSilver in here?

Well to paraphrase the article. Ramsey has been trying to find an allowance race for BOS and Frankel suggested that BOS was doing so good that they should try the Mile. And I guess that is all that Ramsey needed to hear. Apparently, BOS was entered into the Bernard Baruch but scratched.

I love the thought process here

- scratch out of the Benard
_ try to find an allowace race
- lets try the Breeders Cup Mile after a 11 month layoff.

Belonged to Moses before me, the article finally came up. Not to much info, you paraphrased the hell out of it. Guess you gotta look at it like this, it will be one helluva longshot if he comes home! I'll pass though.
