What happened with arrogate post meydan is the trainer kept running the horse on a track it seems to hate and shattered its confidence
|

The winner run well , he must have done to win

doesn't handle the track yes but look at that awkward break, head on 1 side, that's more than just the track

impossible to like baffert

Stick baffert beside asmusen and he seems likeable enough

Tricast paid out well here...64/1
Was expecting a lot less...2nd fav beats 3rd fav beats 4th... Shame Churchill couldn’t break into that. |

By:
I think connections bottomed out Arrogate by running him at Meydan solely for that mega prize money after a hard race against California Chrome in the Classic.

By:
Only time arrogate won at del mar it was by just under 2 lengths to Kristo, a nothing horse. Few weeks later it won by 13 lengths beating much much better horses and week later beat Chrome.
It hates the track! |

By:
I was dumbfounded by the decision to run Churchill on dirt. Judging by Lancaster Bomber's second in the Mile Turf, Churchill may well have won the latter race.

Dog racing. Throw any form books on the bonfire! American ballyhoo and bull. No class, no control, as straight as a Sidewinder and "Oh say can you see". Royal Ascot it certainly is not!

Awful track indeed. It reminded me of Catford dog track,...been once and never again; injury to dogs aplenty.

Reading these comments about greyhound racing reminds me of when Walthamstow held charity meetings in aid of the Injured Jockeys Fund. Horse racing people should bear this in mind when they are slagging off other sports.

this meeting gets less and less interesting each each. as far from being a world championship as you can get - most of the best European horses don't go and the Japanese don't seem interested.

Del Mar city shuffle -the worst global racing event I've ever watched
Piss poor from start to finish |

All you posters on here who obviously detest American racing and find The Breeder's Cup a joke: Did someone hold a gun to your head and force you
to watch /bet? Each to his own I say. If you can't stand it why are you watching? |
|
By:
Agreed, roggrain. They will all come back again next year moaning and groaning about how terrible it all is.

I guess the BC only happens once a year, and there is no competition to it on the same evening eg Champions Day, Arc, Japan Cup, etc. And it is free to watch. Hence, why not? Nevertheless, next year if the track resembles that of a greyhound track again my participation will be extremely minimal or non-existent.
Gunner Runner (GR) had been installed fav post his win and the defeats of Arrogate at Del Mar. It was only a couple of days prior to the race that a significant amount of sentimental money arrived for Arrogate; professionals and horse racing punters/pundits did not support his price contraction. With the benefit of hindsight (again) GR offered the best value (3/1) than even Highland Reel and Lady Aurelia given known form; GR was a fresh horse and well drawn too. |

Quite amused by all the time boffins making excuses for probably overrating Bolt D'Oro. Good Magic was arguably the most impressive winner of the two days and I know which one of the two I would rather go forward with.
I manged to win a few quid but I would have enjoyed it irrespective of the betting. Plenty of those favourites were not beaten by the track. They just ran shockers. |

By:
dont no whether the likes of nick luck would class himself as a racing purist or not, but imo racing isn't about horses been hard ridden into and out of tight bends
|

By:
I thought the track was poor but you get people moaning every year. If you run some of the best horse from their respective states/countries then transport them somewhere they've never ran before at the end of the season then put on several G1's you're always going to get upsets.

I was reading this thread last night, dear me, whinge, whinge whinge. I enjoyed the meeting. Not everything is about making a profit. I'm off now singing this tune....
Where the cringe meets the whinge Down at old Bet Fair Take a swipe Have a gripe Take it too far There is a frown on every face After each and every race Where the cringe meets the whinge At Betfair |

Correct .....mind winning does help .....it was a very good night for blindly backing stacks of outsiders at bsp

I personally think people don't take in to account the distances even most of the American horses have to travel when taking in to account whether horses will run to the same form. Even Gun Runner who won the distance he had to to get to the Breeder cup would be the equivalent of a NewMarket trained horse going to race a couple of hundred miles East of Moscow.
