I was at the Delaware Park Simulcast, and they did announce all the 1st lasix horses; pardon my ignorance... this not done trackside??? WOW!!!!

Speaking of Aidan O\'Brien, did everyone see the Melbourne Cup the other night? After the Solider of Fortune, his rabbit and their jockeys totally screwed up the trip in the Turf the three entries he had in this 2 mile race went out, by themselves, six lengths in front of the field in an attempt to make it a true \"stayers race\".

In the end they accounted for three of the last four finishers in this 22 horse field.

Does anyone have a clue if he has lost control of the jocks or what?

BTW, an interesting Breeders\' Cup fact is for all the horses that Coolmore and O\'Brien have shipped to the BC only two have won (High Chaparral (twice) and Johannesburg) and as a matter of fact he has as many horses break down (George Washington and Landseer) as winners. In general I don\'t think they point toward these races, when opportunity presents itself they take a gamble on placing their stock in positions that, if they get lucky, they can significantly bump the stallion value.
