Any horses you think have the potiential to stomp their fields in the Breeders Cup?

[Defcon One]

For me:

Giant Oak in the Marathon--think he might has a class and ability edge over the rest of the field

Harve De Grace OR Uncle Mo in the Classic:

Yep, I know it seems like I'm contradicting myself after my prior comments about Uncle Mo. The thing is...IF he wants 10 furlongs he COULD demolish this field if HDG doesn't have her best day...if that were to happen I could easily see him winning by a nice, wide 7 or 8 lengths. In my OPINION, I think the only thing he will want is a ride back to the paddock for the last furlong. We shall see. If he doesn't want 10F, and HDG fires her best, I think we could easily see a replay of the type of race the Woodward was, with Grace pulling away after the quarter-pole to win by a wide margin.

And the best bet of them all to STOMP a field...

Union Rags in the Juvenile. This colt is the real deal...watch and see. I don't care if he has to break from the stands. You're going to be comparing his race to Arazi's Juvenile when he's done.

Plum Pretty in the Ladies Classic.

where did you hear that? I thought he was just out of the Classic in favor of the Marathon?

I think you should re watch the Woodward.

Oh, Ok.

[Somnambulist]

Oh, Ok.

Wherever you read that, I read it too and got the same impression.

well I'm confused now

[Miss Woodford]

Ben's Cat in the Turf Sprint (IF he goes, which is doubtful )
If Stacelita runs in the F&M turf...

well I'm confused now

Giant Oak is running in the Marathon

[mimi6920]

If his work today is an indication, Euroears is going to bring the stomp to a BC race near your. I also think Union Rags or Hansen could stomp in the BC juv. Hansen fired a bullet work today at Churchill Downs. I think he will handle the dirt just fine. Most Tapits do

I also think My Miss Aurelia might be all over in the Juv fillies although it will be interesting to see what happens when she meets Grace Hall who has been impressive around one turn and two. Her speed figures have been slower than MMA, but she hasn't had to run that fast. Being an Empiremaker, I think she will like the distance: the longer the better.

[Paseana]

Turbulent Descent in the F&M Sprint. If this race is run without incident, I just don't see anybody going in there that will beat her.

Could I be wrong?........Absolutely! But right now, she's looking like my Filly Friday single.

Goldikova!!!!

[Gemtwyst]

Royal Delta in the Distaff. She won't be facing HDG there, and I'm skeptical of Plum Pretty getting the same trip she had in the KY Oaks. It's Tricky may or may not bounce back from the very average effort she put in during the Cotillion.

The other older females, aside from maybe Ultra Blend, don't look all that scary.

Ultra Blend has a very good chance, she's a gem of consistency (not finished out of the money in the last 2 seasons), and always puts in a good effort, rain, shine, whatever the surface. Now's her chance to see if she can take her game out of California. I have a sentimental attachment to her because other than Zenyatta she's been in my VS longer than any other mare.

Goldikova!!!!

No way in hell.

I'll be rooting for her--I'd love to see the four-peat, and I'd love to see her go out a winner...but based on her form this year if she wins I think it's going to be a close shave. No way in hell she stomps this field.

Giant Oak doesn't look like he wants any part of the BC at this point . Sorry GO fans
but he's been very inconsistent.

[Slewbopper]
