STG is hard to beat when he gets an easy lead and I love him for it! I hope we are still pointing to the BC Dirt Mile though! Thank you for the nice payday, STG!

Would DWL really not take a big swing and go for the Classic? There's a couple Eclipse awards that will all hinge on it.

It reminds me of the old shtick where the devil is on one shoulder and an angel on the other. Coach is the devil in this scenario and MRH the angel. Coach the Devil says, let’s go!!! MRH the angel says the Classic is too far and the pace’ll be way too hot.

I'll guess that STG would be less than 10/1 in either race according to the bettors, their opinion counts too!
I've found it easier to tear up tickets at 8/1 instead of 8/5.

Congrats to Seize the Grey although I was rooting for Dragoon Guard (I wanted to see another grade I-winning son of Arrogate).

Next was, as usual, sensational. Were he yours would you rather see him in the Classic or the Turf?

I keep seeing that TA won easily because Brian didn’t go to the whip, but if so, he got incredibly lucky that the wire came when it did because the other filly was coming back….TA got a lucky bob

I hope they shorten Tarifa up, though to be honest, she’s stuck - there are no middle distance races for her, and she’s not a pure sprinter

This is the disgraceful condition of Parx turf - I’ve seen post-snow house lawn that looked better than this

That is a dangerous disgrace! They and the horses are lucky there was only one injury on the turf--- so unacceptable!

He was a class standout yesterday and ended up 4-1. I don’t particularly love the horse but me and my $2 couldn’t pass that up. If it’s the same bettors, I’m not so sure about single digit odds in the Classic.

The owners have been saving all year for November, they will show up at the windows like degenerate gamblers, 5/2 first click! :D

If he’s 5/2 in the Classic I need to start booking bets. The internet out here in the sticks is spotty. I could provide a service.😉

I agree. He’ll pass horses in the stretch if the pace is too crazy. In the Classic the pace will be hot except he’ll be up in it. For him to get 10f, at this time, he needs to control the pace on the lead, in my opinion. He’ll get a better trip in the Dirt Mile.
