Early Breeders' Cup Projections...

[repent]

I know this is kind of pointless b/c nothing starts until post position are drawn, but its fun anyway.

BCJF-
Point Ashley-easiest call of the day probably.

BCJ-
Circular Quay-undefeated, likes CD, will only want more ground

BCS-
Songster-Im not going all chalk

BCD-
Oonagh Maccool-see above statement, and besides, I think she is the best dirt female on the planet when right.

BCFMT-
Alexandrova-2nd easiest call of the day.

BCM-
Librettist-I cant find anything wrong with him.
can you?

BCT-
Deep Impact-if he runs, he wins. I honestly have no idea if its even a consideration for them. Im sure a lot of you can give me more info on this.
Hes the best middle distance horse on the turf I have seen this year, and its not even close.

If he does not run, then whatever Coolmore runs will win. English Channel is the best US based hope. He has already won a G1 at this track this year.

BCC-
Bernardini-total freak.
If Godolphin decides not to run him(for whatever reason), then I think David Junior stands an excellent chance here.

Pent, I think I've read that Deep Impact's connections have zero interest in the Breeders Cup.

figured that was the case.
the Arc and then the Japan Cup?

seems to make the most sense.

Yep that seems to be the plan. I really wish they'd reconsider though because I'd love to see him in the BC. Looking forward to a great Arc though with him squaring off versus Hurricane Run, Shirocco, et al

yeah,
thats a race for the ages.

better than when Montjeu met Sinndar or any other running that I have seen.

That was 2000 right?

yep,
it was 2000, which was Sinndar's awesome 3YO year where he was basically a head away from being unbeaten.
his only loss was by a head in a Epsom Derby prep race.
he went on to win the Epsom Derby, the Irish Derby, and the Arc. retired with 7 wins in 8 starts.

Montjeu won the Arc the previous year in 1999.

funny thing is, I think Sinndar still lost out on year end honors b/c that was the same year Giants Causeway had an awesome 3YO campaign.
