Last year at Kee was great, then at CD several years ago.
The only decent BC at Santa Anita was in 2009 when Zenyatta won the Classic.
This BC was like watching Jax play Tampa--not a single star...and Arrogate is not a STAR. In a few days none will remember any horse form this BC except Chrome and Songbird.

On a normal track, or the one they had in previous days and weeks, that longshot maybe runs past Songbird and Beholder at the wire, and then what happens? The speedy nature of the track prevented that from happening, if that happens and 'joe blow' beats the mighty Songbird and the Mighty Beholder, how do we view that from a historial perspective?
