I promise you, I wouldn't have mentioned his name had I not known he had horses entered. . . . .

Yes I know, he also has Announce on Friday, but is he actually there? I suspect he's not.

or just getting served a cold steak..ect...
yep...that's right...EVERY ONE of YOU would totally REVERSE your HIGH and MIGHTY attitude if the roles WERE reversed...roflmfao at ya'll...just human nature...

Agree. BC should refuse to return to Churchill. Actions like these can result in fewer horses from overseas participating in the BC.

You suspect? But you're not in a position to know for sure, so you can't say for certain?
He can be at home in France drinking fresh squeezed orange juice and downing croissants by the half dozen. Doesn't matter to me. He's the trainer/conditioner. And he's one of THE best.
I'm aware of Announce, as well. Thanks. You've looked at the entries now? This is nice. Wishing you good luck. Enjoy the two day Breeders' Cup that we, here in the USA, put on each year.

In this country I believe we call this CYA.

VP and Track Superintendent Butch Lehr's comments from latest Bloodhorse article
“We’re going to let the horses train on turf today [Friday] because we’re racing on the hedge for the next two days and they’ll train in Lane 3 (22 feet out) around the dogs (cones set up on the course to keep the horses from too close to the inside hedge),” Lehr said. “Yesterday I had to cancel turf training because we ran the stakes race (the grade III Commonwealth Turf) in Lane 3 and we had to protect the lanes. The decision to cancel yesterday was made with safety in mind.”

I believe most of us will agree that this was an unfortunate situation where both sides slightly overreacted. It's onwards and upwards from here.

they should stick to college football
Did you see the two absurd scratches today? The French horse brushed against the ambulance and was scratched! Talk about idiocy and overreaching after the "life At Ten" scandal last year.
This scratches validates why they have so many fast food restaurants in poalookaville USA. Unless standard operating procedure is clearly spelled out - the workers at McDonalds do not think but just follow a manual- those backwater idiots are capable of anything if they are given free rein. The closing of the turf course 2 days out is yet another example. That scratch today was a travesty for horse, owner, trainer and jockey. There should be someone from New York in charge of things like this as backwater Kentuckians should not be allowed to control an event as complex as the Breeders Cup.

If you mean Announce , I know the jockey seemed upset but they found a small laceration on her leg and the Vet said with so little time they had to make that decision. It's just unfortunate for the connections.
