Cerin says Brown picked the horse

Picking Farish\'s pockets puts you in a small & select group JB. Kudos on a job well done.

Student Council was 33-1 with 1 minute to post.  Goes off at 23-1....before they left the gate.

Jerry,  I know you had this one good to win and the exacta.  Great job and thanks for a very profotable ROTW ( My November trip to Maui is now paid for). Nice props from Mig and Cerin after the race too.  You continue to show why your product is the premier handicapping tool for serious players. Congratulations on the Gr 1.

Congratulations JB on your insightful work! I went to a music festival and missed all the excitement- Thanks for your imput on the board though!

Congrats JB and Mig, good to see some NY guys getting the money on the Left
Coast.

Does Student Council return to Asmussen\'s barn now? Will he run exclusively on
synthetic surfaces from now on or point to the BC Classic at Mth? I suggest
this year Mr. Parra leaves these decisions to The Guru Jerry Brown (TGJB).

Will there be Belmont Stake like problems assigning a T- Fig for this race?
There was only one other 2- turn synthetic race on the card, a glacially paced
1-1/16th allowance race run 1-1/2 hours before the Pac Classic.

A brief glance at the results shows how much the playing field has been leveled
at Del Mar. The early double was O\'Neill/ Mullins; the late Pick 3 was Cerin/
Mullins/O\'Neill.

Nothing like some great free publicity, and a share of a million dollar purse.

Bordercollie,

Time on del mar poly must be somewhat dismissed, especially in routes where the track speed is generally up to -100 to -120, 4 to 5 seconds slower than norm.Horses definitely run much slower on that surface and fig makers are kinda ignoring raw time.I doubt horses are really running there normal figs at del mar with it being so tiring, it makes no sense horses can perform the same.DRF will soon be posting a variant(not available yet)

Excellent purchase by JB, great ride by the Mig,and big legit poly run by the horse.

Lovango won the Forward Pass stakes at Arlington last weekend. 22/44/108/1:21.02 for 7fur. It\'s all up to the jocks. In general they run slower, but 2:07, is a total joke.

Arlington got alot of rain during the week prior to the Million and the main track played much faster than it has all season.  That was the reason for the argument between Del Mar President and Zayat\'s stables which lead to Zayat pulling all his horses - he wanted Del Mar to water the track to speed it up.

[miff]

Del Mar is unlike the other poly\'s, playing much slower as KEE was at first.

I forgot all about this race this weekend and this horse until watching ESPN2\'s broadcast and hearing Mig\'s say \"Jerry Brown-Thorograph said this horse belonged in here.\" I was really happy for all you guys. I know y\'all POUNDED this one.

I remember playing Student Council as my key of the day opening day at Keeneland. He jumped off the sheets for me but got a wide 4th place ride that day.

I wish I would have been following along lately but I\'ve been buried in a budding romance:-)

It\'s been a pretty damn awesome year for Thorograph I would say. I hope to catch the next one!

Cerin made plenty of money with Super Frolic for the barn.

Why turn Student Council over to Assmussen? He had very limited success with  Santana Strings and Annika Lass two other Millenium runners.

Nice purchase-nice score-well done TGJB

I think it will depend on what the future plans for SC are.

Santana Strings won a graded stake at the Spa in 05. Annika raced in pretty
hard luck, just missing in some graded stakes.

Not saying this is SC\'s future, but there is a future out there for a stallion
who wins multiple graded stakes on synthetic as breeders will likely begin to
look to match sires and dams who have shown ability on synthetic surfaces...

I was waiting for someone to post an article like that, but thought it would be Chuckles. ;-)

Touchy, touchy, touchy!

I was referring to people that buy horses, not bet them. I should have made it clearer.
