Sometimes in the BC Mile, it's tough to see which Euros are going to be tough. LAst Tycoon, Barethea, Dome Driver were all pretty big number winners. Antonio Pius was a close 2nd to Singletary. I remember that Super paying $110k. I didn't have it. Last year it was kind of silly that they ran George Washington in the Classic instead of the Mile. Who knows how he would have done. GW and Lingarri have their preps coming up. A 3yo filly - Darjina (sp?) just beat older males in France. Miesque, Ridgewood Pearl and Six Perfections all won the BCM as 3 yo fillies, I believe. To me, the BCM is a crapshoot. Maybe that's because I cannot recall ever getting the race right.

sheakespeare did not walk bt kip deville. He was under a drive from the 1/8 pole to the wire. He had a perfect trip along the rail and was very fortunate to have gotten through. He also was getting 7lbs from kip who had a trip that does not exactly fit his running style. at scale weights and kip getting an outside stalking trip there will be nothing between these two. The shorter stretch at monmouth will also benefit Kip. I am all over kip in the futures at this point.

But Shakespeare is a pretty cool story. Nice horse.
i wouldnt give up on her just yet. i cant account for her 2nd to last start, but she was full of run last time with nowhere to run. she got turned almost sideways when she bounced off another horse and/or the rail and lost all hope.
