There's a reason why they call it the Breeders' Cup, and whatever the connections of Knicks Go made on the purse yesterday will pale in comparison to what they get out of the breeding shed with him now that he's "proven" at a Classic distance, something his stablemate already had on his resume.

A few people have commented that the rail was bad.
I didn't notice that live. If that rail was bad, imo it certainly wasn't death. There were a couple of horses that ran poorly inside (Jackie's Warrior being one) but a few horses made good runs inside even if they didn't win. I'm going to have to watch the replays.
