Breeders' Cup 2021

Another belting ride from buick

Had the perfect position all the way round

the guy is mustard

Big fan of space blues, the relaxed way he races and the way he quickens youd think he'd make a very good 6f-8f stallion

Loved that win by Space Blues, exactly as I thought it would pan out. Makes up slightly for Jackie's Warrior's loss but would have preferred all those Cheltenham roll ups!

Smoth sailing although he didn’t have to do anything too special.
ryan Moore though gave one of his breeders cup specials.
bullied into last place and then failed to react to moderate fractions.
not bothered cos I never backed his mount but he was shit.

The best jockeys keep it simple

Buick does that, frankie has being doing it for 30 years (apart from on stradivarius this year)

Moore consistently makes it very very hard for himself, especially at the breeders cup
 
Tarnawa/Walton St in the turf - maybe Sisfahan for a good price
 
Tarnawa didnt go a yard unfortunately

Keane never looked happy

By contrast buick had a double handful on yibir turning for home

Who was by miles the best horse and wouldve been a very unlucky loser
 
Race was over straight away

None of the other front runners even tried to take on knicks go gifting him an easy lead and an easy win
 
Ante post 10/1 landed on golden pal

Really enjoyed that, the horse is made for these American sprints

Crazy early speed

The speed from the gate gets him 4/5 lengths on the 2 Ryan horses then come the bend it’s game over.

Completely agree about the US tracks suiting him down to a T! Even more so Del Mar with the shortest straight.

Makes up for the Nunthorpe :applause:

Also, Irad Ortiz on board makes a difference. Now 4 from 4 on Golden Pal.

If I've got my homework right, Irad has won 4 of the last 6 BC Turf Sprints including three on the spin in the Juvenile.

If Ward brings Golden Pal over here again he has to bring Irad with him

What the weekend proved is that William Buick and Irad Ortiz are the best 2 jockeys on the planet atm, world class
