really, Castallano is going to that track the week of the BC? Horse must be the second coming of Zenyatta.

If this horse is so special, I'm not sure I understand why after training at Saratoga and Belmont, they opt for a soft spot against OH state breds.

Would have been nice to see them try Saratoga and try to become the 2nd Ohio bred to win there in the past 100+ years.

this guy is very aggressive, he won a Breeders cup race already that he claimed for $50,000. this game is all about people that can dream and turn that dream into reality. the game could use about 1000 people that have the same type of spirit as Looch has.

i only met him once about 4 years ago in Florida and he seems like a pretty sane human to me that has his own idea's about racing and how to accomplish them.

I agree `100% with your comments.
BC is all about taking one's best shot.
Anyone who looks at the BC like it is the world series or Stanley Cup where a grueling season must be endured before getting a chance at the Hardware is not seeing the BC for what it is.
I think most of those objecting to a first time starter in the BC are hard hitting handicappers who do not wish to deal with the unknowns of a firster in the BC.
In other words, they don't want the additional challenge.
