Im going to give yall the winner of the BC Turf. Do yourself a HUGE favor and watch the replay of last years race keeping your eyes on #1 horse Shahryar. Pay attention going around the far turn. Jokey leaves the rail, goes out 3 or 4 wide, has to steady and wait, then the rail opens up for the winner as he does close the gap to get up for 3rd. This horse is in better form this year and will be set for 2nd off layoff. Should be a good price
porta fortuna winner of three group ones was slower at leopardstown than diego velazques by some way porta ran 1-40.67 half hour earlier diego ran 1-38.94 the only two furlongs she was quicker was the first and the seventh .over the last six furlongs diego was 1.89 seconds quicker ,to be honest i thought they had made a mistake on the timing of the race because thats eight length quicker.
Highland Falls last race may have been the best mile and a quarter race by any dirt horse this year. He chased the fastest early speed horse (arthurs ride) in the country(never seeing the rail),and NO ONE gained an inch on him the last furlong. The 3yo crop this year was GARBAGE...Fierceness will have a MUCH harder time going by a real horse like Highland Falls than the slug Dornoch...
Thorpedo Anna is SOURING. Her perfect golden rail trip in Travers was overrated....Would never take a short price on her. Raging Sea is the american horse to beat.
That's what I've been concerned about. And the Travers may have took some of the fun out of it for her, that was the first time she was fully extended.
@BobPandolfo Watch today how the track is playing. The last Two DEL MAR breeders cups(2017,2021) the rail was DEAD,outsiders had huge advantage. This past summer,the rail was golden all meet. Def watching Thursdays card with interest...
Good info to all of you.Vanessa is great

I bet him last year...one of the worst rides In BC history.
The Classic was moved up because with the West coast times, the Classic was competing with NCAA Primetime Football games hurting ratings.
Also easterners weren't going to wait til 8:15 for the Classic .
