As a horse racing novice I enjoy NBCSN posting these races, as well as all the comments here. Thanks!!

If Mckinzie needs the perfect trip to beat a horse like Mongolian Groom, he's big trouble for BCC. It's funny to read comments a few weeks ago of people comparing Mckinzie to the Great Ghostzapper. Either people that never saw Ghostzapper run are making this type of comments or they have short memory.

Baffert.."I'm going to ask Mike why he made that move" Hello Johnny V.

Heartbreak for Higher Power, but Mongolian Groom did it

[SumoCumLoudly]

McKinzie is not a 10f horse, the Breeders Cup Dirt Mile is the race he should be in.

[KikoMaggiña]

Mike did the right thing, that horse was flat coming out the gate. Mike said it, the horse got tired.

Is Code of Honor the horse they have to beat in the Breeder's Cup Classic. I wonder how this horse will handle Santa Anita?

[jeffmonaghan]

McKinzie had farther to travel because he was wide on the back stretch and far turn.

[stefkreppal]

Why can't English based jockeys ride with this confidence and flair?

[bretmilner]

Probably the worst ride I've ever seen by Smith, he should get days for that one.

[lisadalessandro]

he even gets interviewed when he loses. yawn.

McKinzie has zero chance in the Classic. Nag. Santa Anita puts up 300k and gets it graded 1. Joke.
