The more I look at the BC Classic the more it reminds me of the 2004 Derby.

-A horse that lays over the field with his last 2 numbers, that has never gone 10f and that may react to the big efforts.

-A game front runner that could lead early and dig in late.

A solid closer that is the likely post time favorite.

Sounds a lot like Smarty Jones, Lion Heart and The Cliff's Edge in the Derby.

or

Ghostzapper, Roses in May and Pleasantly Perfect in the Classic.

Strikingly similar scenario heading into the race.

Will the Classic have a similar outcome? We will find out tomorrow.

Good luck. Looks like a great betting card.
