Title: Brave New World
Post by: richiebee on March 17, 2009, 07:40:28 AM

Wow-- a mid week ROTW, from Across the Pond no less.

The winner of this race is assured a spot in the Derby field. I hope the folks
at CD have taken into account the possibility of a Dead Heat; I guess the Derby
spot would go to the co-winner with the most earnings.

Personally, I think this Brit win and your in scenario is too gimmicky and
unnecessary; its not like the Derby needs added hype, and I am sure we will see
Euro runners in abundance for this year\'s BC.

How to they determine graded stakes earnings from other countries if a foreign horse is trying to get into the Derby?  I assume via the exchange rate, but on what date do they go by?  The day and time that the race was won?

Richie-- most of the conditions of the race are spent on the dead heat scenario, seriously.

Any place I can get down a prop bet on the date that Catalano and Calabrese
kiss and make up?

I\'d say sometime during the Kee meet and certainly before Arlington....

I\'ll check into it...and get back to you....although the last conversation I had with Wayne, was highly unlikely at that point  in time....

Hope you are doing well in this brave new world we are living in....
