prat riding mage is messed up but arcangelo was gonna win anyway Both are true statements from my POV. The first statement (esp. in retrospect) as the race my eyes watched had Pratt strangling Mage, so I believe if Pratt had let him run he might have gotten ITM. Arc was going to win anyway, so losing rider to injury, Delgado just had "bad racing luck" after the jockey (JJ) who rode his horse in 4 graded stakes races went to ride for a different trainer. If the Travers "record" was in my grasp, after a 5 year lull, I'm sure my agent would have talked me into going with Arc too though. I was just not happy with Pratt's ride, but I think the right horses got into the place and show spots, it would have been close. I loved Tapit Trice here for that spot, and Disarm for place.........but I didn't wager the race at all so I have no dog in this fight. (I couldn't bring myself to bet against "my guy" Forte...just the horse himself I really love, such a classy TB) and who was not a "happy" horse today. If only they could talk. |

If a European contender was going to to take a run at the BC Classic , this would be the year.
