Note: From now until the end of the year I will be counting down my top favorite moments from this year.
The race was a bit lacking something.
California Chrome and Shared Belief where out for the year and
Beholder decided to stay against her girls for her final BC prep.
That left the Awesome Again with Bayern who was having a terrible
year, Hoppertunity who was having a good year and Hard Aces who was
coming off a terrible Pacific Classic.
None of these horses won as Smooth
Roller who was making his graded stakes debut passed Bayern in stretch and won for fun over Hopertunity.
Sadly Smooth Roller was scratched the
morning of the Classic due to injury. Bayern retired after his 3rd
place finish.
