thanks, I didn't realize he was running a race in between? Could you tell me which one? I realize I am sophomoric when it comes to this board, not sure I have a right to be on here, since I mostly have questions. SS seemed all in to me when loading into the gate (maybe was my empathy kicking in) but I figured the heat was going to affect him and the whole race. I think Borel really learned his lesson and brought him up sooner this time. Do you think that made a difference? Shouldn't we be calling him a monster horse at this point? It doesn't appear anyone is exulting him to the level I am when it comes to the BC, no way he is not going to hit the board in that race, only wondering who the upset is going to be if there is one !!
