The Filly didn't fire or is fried, Flat Out didn't fire, Who knows about Uncle Mo? The other colts Stay Thirsty and Honor and Serve are fraud a and b. Too bad Awesome Gem wasn't around to suck up for a piece.
I tossed Game On Dude completely thinking the pace would be stronger with Mo pressing the horse along. Game on Dude ran well... but you're right...

This Breeders' Cup was fun as always - betting opportunities, some stars and some excitement.... but we are definitely in a funk right now in terms of quality horse flesh. I think back just five or so years ago when Invasor ran down Bernardini... those would have ate yesterday's field for lunch. Ghostzapper might have looked like Secretariat.

And not to mention... Afleet Again is now a Breeders' Cup winner.
