Weekend Stakes Beyers

[CSC]

On 1st review numbers are on the lowish side, Goldikova's especially, this is one of the best milers of all time and 106 just doesn't seem to her justice. Not arguing the accuracy of the number, however this is why I always have a fundamental problem of using beyers as a gauge on the historical impact of a horse. What she did saturday was one of the most dominating performances I have seen at a BC yet.

NP is going to be a beastly sprinter next year.

Filly and Mare turf turned out to be a Grade 3. Ugh

With a decent trip Pluck probably wins by 10 and gets a 100...

Attfield is looking for an ellusive BC, 2nd with With Approval and Play the King, I don't understand why Ave wasn't entered in this field.

Muzikar said Castellano is committed by a signed contract to ride Flower Bowl winner Ave for trainer Roger Attfield in the Grade 1 Queen Elizabeth Commemorative Cup in Japan on Nov. 14. The race, contested at Kyoto Racecourse, carries a purse of more than $2.1 million.

Nick, you have to think Attfield has some regrets of not pointing her for this race, hindsight is 20/20 but Shared Account is not a horse that Ave should have any trouble with. Javiar deserves any suspension he gets, not the 1st time we have seen this, this guy has to learn his lesson. Pathetic his horse stayed up.

Castellano's horse got DQ'd.

Given the way the F/M Turf unfolded, Attfield probably does regret not running Ave. I think the distance was much more up her alley than Miss Keller's. Take nothing away from Shared Account, but she's not much horse and needed a perfect ride and perfect trip to beat Midday, who obviously was not herself.
