Enough already with Trevor.
I'd rather talk about:
Lanfranco Dettori-- the only rider to win the BC Turf 3 times (Mick Kinane and
Jose Santos have each won 2). How great would it be to see this fella ride a
winter month in Florida or California? (Don't know if he could make lower US
weights).
Todd Pletcher--how does his 0/17 compare to Zito not hitting the board with any
one of his 5 Derby starters in '05?
The 07 Breeders Cup-- 354 days to go. Should be a fascinating Cup logistically
in that there are very few quality hotels in the area of Monmouth Park. I predict
that the 07 Cup at Monmouth, if it draws 50,000 fans, will be followed by one of
the greatest traffic jams in the history of the Garden State.
The 08 Breeders Cup-- According to BloodHorse, Churchill is already being given
consideration to host the 08 Cup, I guess based on good attendance and handle
figures from the 06 edition. This means the track maintenance guys have two
years to figure out how to maintain a track without a pronounced bias.
Polytrack--the Sunday NY Post ran a picture of Javier Castellano covering up on
the track and Pine Island cartwheeling after her catastrophic breakdown; in the
picture, you can unfortunately see the extent of the damage to her shredded
ankle. If it is proven that Polytrack will eliminate or greatly reduce injuries
such as this, INSTALL IT NOW, EVERYWHERE, old curmudgeons like me be damned.
Keeneland apparently had a record meet, handle- wise, proving that horseplayers
as well as horsemen are embracing the synthetic surface
