Sportz, Alinghi was extremely impressive if your ask me. First up, sat a great trip, and was under a hand ride from what I understand. I listened to it at work on the computer and was bored as well with the call. In Durkin's defense, he is very clear in his enunciation at least but no excitement, unless he has the winner! He must have tried to beat the champ. However, Alinghi didn't face much of anybody and definitely not the best in America, let alone Europe. She may be the best of all though when it's all said and done. It is so hard to tell when you beat nothing. I guess you have to give a lot of credit to any horse that can ship half way around the world, experience two summers in a year, and win like that first up from the 10 hole, first time over the track, etc etc etc.!!!!

She definitely go the distance and while posting last night I saw she could get the mile no problem with 2 wins and a 2nd. Where is she gonna go in the Breeder's Cup??????
