I don't think Jackie's a fraud, but I do think he's had a fortunate career. There were races early in his career in which he faced adversity and ran his tail off. Passing of the torch a bit today, because that's a good winner.

Whitmore such a good boy in the post-race interview :D

Jackie's Warrior looked dull - you could see he is not the same speed horse that

Okay so he got the best of Life is Good off of a 5 month layoff. He’s also been beat after going tow to toe with Drain the Clock. But like, he was on paper so much the best in this field. I truly did want him to win. Between the last two races maybe he just doesnt have the spark anymore, but it is a huge omission for a horse like him to be 0 for 3 at the Breeder’s Cup.

O Besos actually, like, ran! Happy for him, hope he has a good year next year. But boy did Ward have a terrible weekend. Did any of his horses run a step?

I feel like upgrading Olympiad in the Classic. Is that weird? He's 30-1 right now...

I don't think it's fair to say JW is a fraud overall, but he was definitely overrated this year. All his wins were easy because he was running against "literally who." Best horse he ran against beat him - Cody's Wish.

3 year old JW was pretty darn good, and he apparently got injured in the BC last year, which isn't a bad excuse. This year he just came up flat when running against the best sprinters (or most of them).

I totally get why Modern Games is even money here and I have him singled in a few spots, but boy there's some value in here because of it, and you always have to worry that he gets stopped. Should be a fun race!

The horse ambulance is out on the track and the horse seems to be hidden behind it. :(
