Me too, but they did run super well in the Turf. Both entrants in this race look great.

What a kick by More Than Looks! Knocking on the door all year, finally gets a pace and gets there. Ten Happy Rose too fast early, but very cute with her ears pricked in the stretch.

More than Looks looks like the winner. Johannes 2nd I think. Guess the US horses were better than the imports this year. :D

It’s nice to see multiple trainers get their first BC wins this weekend.

I'm not really disappointed.
Who could imagine that Japanese dirt horses finish in the money in the BC Classic two years in a row?
Up until some years ago, we all thought that Japanese dirt horses were sub-par.

Watching Post Time being warmed up a little bit, he is such a gorgeous grey.

So proud of how he finished, even though he didn't win. He came all the way from last to finish 2nd.
