Can't wait. Really nice fields.

Woodbine always does a great job with this kinda stuff...

It's interesting that Soumillon is coming out for Reggane... I guess Mosse will be in Melbourne with Mr. Medici (?). Some great jockeys here.

No picks yet. My sentimental favorites (Balthazaar's Gift, Chinchon, Mores Wells and Fatal Bullet) will probably remain just that.

I'm thinking Woodbourne in the Neartic and a repeat for Lahaleeb but it's still early and havent begun to look at pps for the International.

Why would Woodbine make the 4th race of their 'Guaranteed P4' a $12.5k MDN CLM? Bizarre, amazing, ridiculous.. They have a 13 horse ALW as the 7th, before the stakes, which could either have been used as the nightcap or started the P4 so that ended with the International. I just don't get it. 3 races worth $3.5 million and then bottom level maidens that are a combined 0 for 109..

I concur, I was hoping they made a mistake. I guess not. Brutal way to finish a nice sequence.
