Speaking of the BC Classic

5 months out it looks like it might be the greatest one ever (barring injuries of course)

Two bonafide USA 3 yo\'s in Empire and Funny.

Volponi is racing again.

Medaglia D\'Oro, Harlans Holiday, Congaree, Milwaukee Brew, Evening Attire

Mineshaft, Snake Mountain, Hero\'s Tribute are dabbling in negative numbers. Speaking of Mineshaft and Midway Road has Neal Howard gone over to the \"Darkside\"?

The beast from the east: Godolphin Stables Moon Ballad

Aidan O\'Brien and Ballydoyle has promised to invade the Travers and their Hawk Wing won like a monster a few days ago.

A few 9f specialists that will try to stretch out another furlong.

Promises to be a great one!

Absolutely, unequivocally, not. Neil is & has been one of the best & most reputable trainers in the US for many yrs. As you probably know, Midway was his 2nd Preakness starter. Winner Summer Squall was his other. Midway was also the 2nd starter for Amb. Farish. His other was 33-1 winner Bee Bee Bee. I saw Midway\'s very impressive alw win at Kee & there are a no. of posters who can confirm the prerace reports that, in contrast to another entrant whose odds were much lower, he was training so well at CD that there were some clockers who came pretty close to emptying out on him. This was nothing more & nothing less than a routinely brilliant job by a very good trainer.
