I will never, ever forget the field coming by the stands the first time last year, turning to Ntamm and asking...why is Soldier of Fortune pace-pressing his own rabbit. I will NEVER, EVER understand that ride. I'd like to say that he wasn't going to win anyway, but who could've told based on what is, quite possibly, the worst turf ride in a BC race.

Worse than Spencer's on Powerscourt?? That one is hard to beat.

I thought so...considering that they flew Red Rock Canyon over to go run and gun, there was no reason to think that their multiple G1 winner would be pressing the pace set by the hopeless maiden. Powerscourt was a bad ride on its own merits, I thought Murtagh's ride on Soldier of Fortune was absolute lunacy.

I absolutely loved this race last year. Scavs turning to me as they turned from home asking where Conduit is? Whoosh, there he is..
