as for the Japan Cup,
I can look at pps a thousand times and nothing gets me away from Hearts Cry and Deep Impact.
both are so visually impressive on the racetrack.
match race.
just hope we get firm turf.
in another year,
Cosmo Bulk would make a lot of sense.
he can certainly run the distance.
but he would have to run the race of his life to be with HC and DI.
same goes for Dream Passport and MeiSamson.
just running in the wrong year.
you can certainly make a case that this is the deepest and best middle distance turf field assembled for the entire year of 2006.

Do you happen to remember..... is Vermillion the one who always gets, ummm.... worked up? Shall we expect a Rakti moment, or am I confusing him with another?
