What are your predictions or guesses for the 2016 horse racing season.
Some of mine

1. 3 TC races 3 different winners + a different winner in the BC Classic and none will be the favorite.
2. The post time favorite for the Ky Derby will have been the single wagering favorite in all of the 2016 future wagers.
3. "Chrome" will be an 0-fer in 2016 and retire before the BC Classic
4. One of the Triple Crown race winners will be ridden by either a replacement jockey or will have ridden the winner for the first time.
5. The BC Classic will be marred by another controversy during the race where the stewards will once again be in the harsh spotlight.(the image is a little cloudy so I cannot tell where in the race this will occur.)
6. The feel good vibes that Pharoah garnered for racing will be crapped away by the industry because they feel that nothing else needs be done to promote the sport.

Okay so my predictions are as follows:
1. Todd Pletcher will appear in a many a winner circle photo in an impeccable grey suit.
2. Chad Brown will win lots of turf races.
3. Swipe will gain his revenge on Nyquist.
4. Runhappy will be overworked and end up taking time off for injury.
5. Which paves the way for Private Zone to finally win an Eclipse
6. Chrome comes back with a vengeance and with a light older male division, wins another Eclipse.
7. The mares in KY get in catfights waiting for their turn with AP.
8. Bodiemeister will be leading first crop sire.
9. Songbird will end up facing the boys after the Oaks...and win convincingly.
10. Sheppard will continue is streak of Saratoga wins again this year.

I can't wait to see how wrong I am! LOL!

   "4. Dortmund will be older horse male horse of the year and win the Haskell."

   I like Dortzilla, but I have a feeling that since it appears to be hard keeping the huge colt together, it might mean that he won't make it to enough races to get that Eclipse...even if he is really good in the races that he does enter. BTW, isn't the Haskell restricted to three-year-olds? smiley: tongue

It was late and I was sleepy.... so how about Toews on Ice wins the Haskell!

'Dortzilla', 'Keen Ice', 'Frosted', 'Texas Red' and 'Happy' will all demonstrate why they are the top older Ponies now that A.P. is Retired.


Flavien Prat wins at least two riding titles this Year.

 

'Songbird' runs away from the field in the Kentucky Oaks.

 

'Airoforce' or 'Drefong' wins the Kentucky Derby.<In my humble opinion as of today,of course my opinion may change long b4 the 1st Saturday in May.>Embarassed

 

'Beholder' successfully defends her title in the Pac-Classic and goes on to win the B.C. Classic.

I think I may have missed my #3Embarassed

Yes, you did, but it was, at best, just a nice win not an overly impressive win, Very slow fractions (The overall time was 1:43.39 exactly the same as the OC Allowance the race prior to CC's) and his main competition, Hoppertunity, got away very slowly getting all tangled up out of the gate. It was a nice win for sure, but nothing spectacular. On the other hand CC was off a long time, so he may improve as we go forward. I hope so, since I would love to see him win in Dubai to complete that circle. Plus it would be great fun to see him and Dortmund face off down the road. I think a lot of folks forget that Dortmund's only two losses in ten races were races won by American Pharoah.  This year is fast shaping up to be a fun year if at least most of the big names stay healthy.

There are horses that are better off the layoff and there are the Chrome types who need to race to improve. Dortmund would have beaten him at the wire, but Chrome stalked a longshot, and held his ground in the stretch. He did the job. Honor Code would have fallen short, but the BC mile winner would have trounced him.
