Thread: What confrontation(s) on the track are you looking forward to this year?

  1. #1

    What confrontation(s) on the track are you looking forward to this year?

    For me:

    (1) Union Rags vs Hansen on the first Saturday in May--maybe when Hansen eats Rags' dust the Eclipse voters will realize how wrong they got it.

    (2) Awesome Feather vs. Harve De Grace. Somewhere. Anywhere. But make it happen.

    How would a result in 2012 affect the integrity of a 2011 award?

    I'll go with Union Rags and Grace in those match ups.

    We don't agree on much, but we do on this.

    It wouldn't, not in the least.

    I'll go with Union Rags, but I think Awesome Feather has the potential to develop into a true freak--if she's sound I think she beats Grace, as much as I love HDG.

    Yes! I think there is an interesting mix of older fillies out there this year!

    Yes, sir. I don't know *if* they will be successful, but I'm rooting for them.

    Cool.

    I feel there's a better chance for Awesome Feather to upset Gracie ... Than for Hansen to beat Union Rags in The Derby ... I have serious reservations about Hansen getting 1 1/4 ...

    I kinda like all of them though.

    But you know how it goes, it probably won't be either of them winning The Derby, much less their dueling down the stretch. Heck, both probably won't even make it there, as history tends to show ...

    None of them. It only sets you up for disappointment.

    When I first read the title of the thread, I was going to type "Borel vs Castellano"
    but if they both come back ok I'll go with My Miss Aurelia and Ismene or Redeemed vs To Honor and Serve.
