I think if My Popette runs a strong 2000 she wins, but this race has been a complete wipe for me last 2 years so not overly confident.

was really happy with Dawnie Perfect but its completely falling out of the market by the minute, has someone cut its leg on the mounting yard or something?
 
sure was, didnt have a real go but there were a few promo's out and at 1.75-1.80 i couldnt not.

So annoying when those horses you feel are close to a certainty don't even place :(
Good effort by Japonisme though.

I don't normally back anything super short as often the risk isn't worth the reward.

American Pharoah smashes track record by a lazy 5 seconds in the Breeders' Cup Classic. Unbelievable.

Incredible effort despite being gifted the race.

2 US marines with him in the mounting yard and 9 marines escort him back to the stables. 20,000 watching him at trackwork before his last run was pretty cool.

Confirmation that US race callers are the worst in the known universe

Certainly the worst always seem to be in slow motion. "Annnddd at the half mile........ its California chrommmeee..... followed by...."
 
Politeness was one of very few runners who defied track bias
Could it be that they use a different type of soil for the inside lanes because of the added traffic to stop it breaking up as much, with the slight bit of rain the inside held together better but as the day wore on and the sunshine/wind dried up the track and it became slightly fairer.

There will be bias again on tuesday, nothing come out really wide with the bias so the inside 4-5 lanes will be chopped up from the run in the wet and outside of that will be untouched.

Unsure what the reason is for the bias just that it was clearly there. Im just a small mug punter so its more annoying for me than anything else. But if you were an owner and the amonut of money effort and time invested to target certain races and then have the track play so fairly? Youd have every reason to be furious.

If its for the reasons I believe then its only thing they could have done was move the rail out to where the softer soil starts knowing the rain was coming but that would mean come cup day it would have been an extreme leader bias worse then saturday imo.

There will be a lot of horses coming extremely wide and doing well on tuesday imo with the way they have gone
