One year on, still in love & awe with @Utterback13's eye-popping shot of AP for his Foster parade. Happy horse!

@PhilSpidermain Freddie Freeman

@NickHilliard1 not my opinion just the fact he's no longer listed on their "contender" page - but neither is Amusingly and she def runs, so imperfect. Just odd both him and Arabian Crown (in Turf) aren't listed.

[IsolatedTops @IsolatedTops]

It's getting late, early, as someone once said.
Best guesses for post time off odds to ~120 points plus best generally available uk price
Juvi Turf Sprint - Orthodox might be out as he's not listed anymore.

@SCWHMALMAN @The_Anteposter unfortunately I think it's 20-20. MS gets 10 for Hirsch, 6 for Clement, 2 for Bowling Green, and 2 for Arlington. Still...they could just choose him over MS for 7th spot there, just think they may not. But like @The_Anteposter said, so many doubts over many, likely he runs.

[IsolatedTops @IsolatedTops]

A ton of "IF's" here but...and this might sound hard to believe...if all of today's ones that say they're coming (Almaqam, Hotz to turf, Map to turf) plus the rest...I'm not sure Burnham Square makes this field.

[IsolatedTops @IsolatedTops]

Think they run both, so last best guess.

@InsideThePylons Because the people on HRX are more educated and passionate about horse racing than the suits who get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars per year to keep it alive.

@The_Anteposter It will be interesting tomorrow just to see how they rank everyone initially - to get inside the committee’s head (there’s a grizzly piece of imagery) so to speak. If they’d just have the decency to let us do it…

[IsolatedTops @IsolatedTops]

@The_Anteposter Yes I kind of had to look twice myself it was just as you start to do the math so to speak that I kinda began to wonder. But on your point - sooo many doubts about so many of them, Id still think he’s odds on to make it.

[IsolatedTops @IsolatedTops]

@Lincoln_FPS @Tomptin Bob swore in an interview last week he was not going to BC - that he was giving him more time and running in the Clark. But…he lies - All The Time. Wouldn’t be shocked at all if he ended up at BC.

[IsolatedTops @IsolatedTops]

Gun to the head right this second I think he runs both in the Classic.

[IsolatedTops @IsolatedTops]

@Wrongly1 💯- It’s wild eh how good it is.

[IsolatedTops @IsolatedTops]

I am not a committee...and wouldn't want to be for the kick off race. Just one WAYI and non of the rest have requisite points to auto in so they get to choose the entire field. And bar the top maybe 6 couldn't really fault them for almost any.

[IsolatedTops @IsolatedTops]

@GiantsWs2014 It totally did don’t it. And yet just yesterday it sounded like they were full bore on the way. Almaqam was not on any list I’d seen but Luck today on byk implied he had a pre entry. So…🤷

Elvis is in the building

[IsolatedTops @IsolatedTops]

also, again, BC undercard desperately needs a turf sprint for the stragglers, and make it 2yo and UP. Would be a spectacular betting race.

[IsolatedTops @IsolatedTops]

fwiw, I think Foley is going to Mile w/Hotz. In the article today - he just spoke about the BC. It was the copy writer that specified "Turf". Can't see how they look at the two fields and don't choose Mile especially if Blue Bolt goes FMT.

A ton of "IF's" here but...and this might sound hard to believe...if all of today's ones that say they're coming (Almaqam, Hotz to turf, Map to turf) plus the rest...I'm not sure Burnham Square makes this field.

[IsolatedTops @IsolatedTops]

Maybe Deep Monster? Maybe Benny? I doubt it. This assumes Johnna Walsh finds her appetite and does come of course. Even still...a lot going on here.

[IsolatedTops @IsolatedTops]

There's 6 BC's - win and you're in's - so one spot left on points. Minaret and Square are tied with 20 each - committee decision - surely they go with former. So then Square has to get selected in next 7 - well which of those seven is he getting taken over?

[IsolatedTops @IsolatedTops]

@EJXD2 @PletcherRacing Has to be coldest spell of the Binoc's career - If I'm not mistaken he has either one or zero runners - depending on if Local Knowledge goes/gets into sprint, no work last wknd - on Saturday of BC. That is...almost hard to imagine.
