The 99th Jockey Club Gold Cup

[Tom]

What can you say....




Grade 1 hopefully for the last time.
The race has become a total joke.

I'm trying to figure out why Pletcher entered Destin and Rally Cry if neither had any intention of trying to soften up Diversify.

Jockeys in this country are bad. Really bad.

1/8th out of the gate I was wondering the same thing. After the 1st 1/4 I figured the leader was golden. He looked like he was doing it so damn easy........

I could see maybe thinking Rally Cry could win, but Destin?

I didn't like any of the Pletcher horses. I figured one of them would attempt to engage Diversify early.

I should have remembered the NY colony doesn't do that.

It looked at 1 point as though both Keen Ice & Pavel had momentum & would go by Diversify,yet they sort of latched on to one another,and lost interest in catching the leader,allowing him to hold on.

One note, 4-1 out of the gate and finishes at 7-2.
