I've held off the "worst ____ ever" talk the last couple of years, but wow, that Big Cap field is pretty poor.

It is a very interesting race in and of itself

hard to get past the fact that we have lost one of the best Classic Distance thoroughbred dirt races on the west coast.
also upsetting to think about how this foreshadows the next two BC meetings.

If you bet SA the SA Hcp is for certain a great betting race. They'll probably handle over $15 million that day.

Somebody likes betting there.

Isn't it ridiculous that he's listed at 8-1 on the ML? He's horrendous.

Medici Code could pull of a nice upset here. He was training very well at Del Mar on the Polytrack and at one point was being considered for the Pacific Classic. The two conspicuous losses on conventional dirt should keep many away, and classwise, he fits here against a basically Grade 2 calibur field.

I guess I'll box Champs Elysees, Medici Code, Heatseeker, Go Between, and Tiago and see what happens.
