Anything could happen though between now and then, obviously, especially with injuries, etc.

If I could wager on where he runs after the Jerome i would bet almost anything that he stretches out to 1 1/8-miles against older horses again in the Grade I Clark at CD in late November...just an educated guess because you figure he'll be there training at CD and pre-enterered in the BC Classic on the precaution that Bernardini goes down - so he would be there and ready for the Clark later that month.....just guessing though... know one thing...my buddy Doug Bredar would be pleased if it were true...

If they don't take him out of NY, 2nd choice Cigar Mile?

"The best I've ever ridden."

Come on now...those words should only be said in a whisper to the ear of a lovely lady that's sharing a pillow.

Last year they wanted to get a graded win for Sundrop before she retired, so they ran her at Churchill after the Breeders' Cup and she crushed a nice field at 7-1. One thing is for sure, they only send them out when they are ready. It's not like they need the money.

With the explosure that ESPN will provide for horse racing, it will definitely only help the popularity of the sport. During the halftime of one of their NFL games they will carry the Meadowlands Cup on ESPN2. The sport needed a shot in the arm like the UAE Shiek runners.
