I don't profess to be the greatest trip handicapper. Last year I was sure that Tapit was gawking in the Wood until more knowledgeable trip watchers convinced me he was bearing in for other reasons. But I have to say that I think the winner of the Turf "Better Talk Now" should have come down. He definitely finished with the best energy, but I'm just as convinced he came in on Magestretti, forcing him to check, and then banged into Kitten's Joy at a time when Kitten's momentum was building. I've watched alot of races and seen horses come down when they probably shouldn't but this horse interfered with two horses in the drive by bearing in sharply. That is reason enough in my opinion to rule out another Breeders Cup in Texas.
