Lol. I'm hoping for a win by Perfect Drift but not to save the sport. I'm hoping it further illustrates how bad today's horses are.

Well, I didn't think anything could be worse than the Suburban. I'm not sure after watching the Gold Cup.

I'd never have believed it had anyone told me five years ago that the day would come where they would run 10f grade one's in NY and CA on the same day for older horses and I wouldn't have heard of either winner going into the race.

No insult intended here, but you can't be paying any attention to NY/CA circuit news to not have 'heard' of Mast Track and Frost Giant going into this weekend. Sorry. Frost Giant, a multiple Group III winner trained by AO'B in Europe, was the subject of a lot of discussion since coming stateside. He was especially well-discussed here this week having been entered on the BEL carryover card the other day. And Mast Track, in addition to being Frankel owned/trained and having just tried the Shoemaker last, was the subject of Brad Free's HOL GC advance Wednesday.

Further.. say what you will about Dutrow, but he kept trying with Frost Giant until he figured out what to do with him...
http://www.derbytrail.com/forums/sho...816#post392816 From Dave Grenig's BEL notes last week: "He's a hard horse to figure out; I still ain't got him figured out yet," Dutrow said. "He's going good now though. I don't have a problem trying what we're going to try." Dutrow said if Frost Giant runs big Wednesday, he'll leave him at Belmont with Bobby Frankel and walk him into the Suburban. "I'll put him on the lead in the Suburban," Dutrow said. "I'll put Rudy [Rodriguez] on him and let him ride him right out of there, that's what the horse wants. He doesn't want you to take a hold of him."

That being said, I think the race was more a case of Solar Flare losing the race, as it looked like he had put Frost Giant away turning for home.
