I'm with you Horse Whisperer, it has the excitement element of anticipation.
As for champion, Racing To Win hasn't done much wrong, Miss Finland has come up the year after winning the big one, which is quite rare, and El Segundo has been proved vulnerable. I lean towards RTW as the future standout.
If Miss Finland pulls it off, she will amaze me beyond belief. |
