He has worn a visor the last few years so dont really know why they are switching to blinkers. I know for him, he used to race far too lazily and the visor certainly sharpened him up. I believe this has been his aim for the last few months and I expect a big run at a nice price..

What are your thoughts on Rainbow View?
Im surprised they having Julien to ride if they are seriously considering her for the F&M Turf, since he is the rider on Augustin's Forever Together.

Gosden said this in a Jay Hovdey column last month:

"The $2 million Ladies' Classic on Nov. 6 would be Rainbow View's most likely target.

"Is Zenyatta running there?" Gosden asked. "Well, we wouldn't be frightened to run against her. Our filly will love that surface."

Uh-oh, here we go again."
