Yea and I'm going to be at the Arc, hopefully Camelot will be there and I'm praying Frankel finds a way to be there.

[Bullet Plane]

Great race!

Thanks for the video. Their photofinish camera and immediate slow mo replay in frames is pretty cool!

I hear we will have similar technology in North America by 2173!

Those turf courses are so darn beautiful.

I hear we will have similar technology in North America by 2173! After they fix fractional timers first. One thing at a time :lol: .

[Humph]

The weather has been relentless but it's true, everything does look very green for the time of year.
This week is going to be warm(er) and sunny apparently.

I feel so compelled to start betting the major stakes in Europe, but I'm not sure where to start. :rolleyes:

do you mean what races, or how to approach the races?

Arlington and Hawthorne have been showing slow motion replay for a long time.

On another note, can someone please explain to me the reason for not having the regular saddle cloth colors? I know this is a UK race, and I don't expect them to adapt to a positive change as they stick to an antiquated tradition. But no reason why the BC can't adopt it.

It thought the BC already did.

Did they just change? If they did, I wasn't aware of it.

You mean you didn't watch Zenyatta win the 2009 BC? For shame. Have a look and see a lack of purple and white saddlecloths. Been changed for 3 years now.

A little of each, but mostly getting a good enough set of PPs and all the replays I would need to form strong enough opinions to make a bet. Right now I follow very casually and a lot of time don't even know the schedule.
