Oh I just want to add that I hope it is a safe race and no one gets injured.

I think it was 2 yrs ago?? that the horse shattered his rear foot and eventually had to be put down - I think he would have been a major super horse if that didn't happen..

I cried watching the slow motion replays of his foot flopping around - and he was still wanting to race - the jockey had to really work to stop him .
