IEAH and Dutrow are big whiners looking to finesse their 3 YO title by taking soft spot wins. NY Post Ray Kerrison's comment on the Haskell: "Big Brown beat a second class field and was life and death to do it."<BR/><BR/>Sort of the penny stock, "pump and dump" approach to Eclipse Awards- ya pump it up big and then hope nobody catches on before you have the big prize- and your syndication fee- in hand. You say IEAH is ducking Curlin in the Woodward; they are also ducking the Travers and the very good chance they will be beaten there by one of the lesser lights.<BR/><BR/>We're sick of all the slick maneuvering; will the racing media stay fooled by IEAH just as the national media has been fooled (so far) by Obama's handlers? I'm hoping for a late blooming 3 YO star to emerge from the Travers, reel off 3 more Grade I wins in a row, and take the Eclipse going away. /S/Green Mtn PunterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-52305177705026240012008-08-07T22:30:00.000-04:002008-08-07T22:30:00.000-04:00it did not fill they are bringing it back on Sunit did not fill they are bringing it back on SunAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-12665976456397710292008-08-07T15:49:00.000-04:002008-08-07T15:49:00.000-04:00Why wasn't the Yaddo carded for Saturday?Why wasn't the Yaddo carded for Saturday?El Angelohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14145024095815950963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-25668169122644652062008-08-07T11:26:00.000-04:002008-08-07T11:26:00.000-04:00If the Woodward matchup isn't a no-go, and the JCG...If the Woodward matchup isn't a no-go, and the JCGP is likely too soon for Curlin after that, then what of the MassCap? <BR/><BR/>Suffolk already expressed a deep desire to have both in the ungraded race with an enriched purse. Suffolk Downs always treated top runners for the MassCap like royalty which should appeal to both ego driven camps.<BR/><BR/>If it's not about the race being graded but rather on the dirt, not a sprint, and for a large check then I think Sept. 20 in Boston works for all - without excuses.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
