Friday now corrected with un-selected horses listed in preference order and revised race order...

You should want her on the dirt, not the turf. . . But please don't do this to me.

Just for variety I think. It has always been at 7F.

I thought they did that so that it could dilute two races, the BC Sprint and the BC Distaff, instead of just one.

In a similar vein, when are they going to downgrade the BC Dirt Mile to a Grade 3?

The first running of the DM was worthy of a GI since you had two horses in it (Corinthian and Discreet Cat) who had won the only other GI races at a mile in this country. Albertus Maximus bouyed the second running with a win in the Donn and Two Step Salsa came back to win the Godolphin Mile, so it's had a couple of quality runnings.

Last year's field, um, not so much.

The last time it was actually on dirt, it was possibly the most impressive performance of the entire BC that year. It's pretty hard to knock the quality of the race any of the last 3 years really. There are some talented horses in this year's field as well IMO.

I know, and I'll be betting her. I think I was thrown off by the part that was quoted where it says "Juvenile Fillies Turf" - thought he was saying he liked her there. I guess that's to delineate the other race she's being considered for. If she takes to the dirt, I think she towers over anything I've seen in the U.S. so far this year. I'll probably back up with the Delightful Mary and Tell A Kelly, though.

Is Rightly So really going to be the ML favorite? She's a real nice filly, but I will be shocked if she wins. Unless the track is as biased as it was for her Ballerina win.

I won't cry when she beats me, as I like her, but she feels like one of the biggest bet againsts on the entire card ( outside of anyone the VI likes ).

Kind of sucks that Nicole H isn't going to get in. . . I don't know if I would've liked her--haven't looked closely enough--but she'd be an interesting wild card.

I hear you but horses like that never win. She is good though.....really good.

I don't like Theysken's Theory. I understand the appeal, but over time these kinds of horses are pseudo wise guy horses that just don't win. Plus, I'm not thrilled with her last race. I know it got a good rating but I'm dubious.

The problem is we tend to decide the horses we have seen aren't that good, so we overrate the new faces, and these new faces are rarely real value. And the obvious, like R Heat Lightning ( funny coincidence she has almost the same name as Theysken's Theory's dam ), often pay better than they should.

I haven't really done much work on the race....but I'm very dubious of Theysken's Theory.
