It was obvious that WE wasn't set at the start. Of course, it's hard to blame the gate crew because WE was acting up and they wanted to start before he acted up again...so they opened the gates a second too quickly. But I don't think that cost him the race. The other trainers have WE's number. Paco cooked him on the lead with BR. The fractions were too fast, simple as that. Hats off to Paco for his handling of Came Home...and to Mike Smith for executing the plan." http://forums.about.com/ab-horseracing/messages/?lgnf=y&msg=5736.44 European racing, a first-hand account ESCORIAL1 writes, "Racing here is suffering because of the dominance of Coolmore and Godolphin. Trainers like Henry Cecil, Sir Michael Stoute, and Paul Cole have been overshadowed by the purchasing power of the "big two". Last season all age groups were monopolized by these stables and, if it looked like they were going to come up short in the two year old department, Godolphin went out and purchased any decent looking horse that happened to take their fancy. When their two year olds, both bred and bought, failed to do the job, they simply went out and bought the best two in Mark Johnston's yard, Bandari and Fight Your Corner, who, in truth, are no better than lower Grade 2." http://forums.about.com/ab-horseracing/messages/?lgnf=y&msg=5723.25 -- SCHEDULES -- Television Schedule What's on TV this week. http://horseracing.about.com/library/bltvsched.htm Stakes Race Schedule Listing of stakes races with purses of $75,000 and up for the next week. http://horseracing.about.com/library/blstakessched.htm -- Racing Polls -- NTRA Thoroughbred Racing Poll 08/26/02 HORSE A-S STS-1-2-3 PTS PVS 1.
