[@raquelbarralescamara669]

Go Accelerate! Love you! Going to destroy the field in the Breeders' Cup Classic!! 👏🏻🏇😋

[@bnegs521]

Best horse in the world will no doubt be the favorite for the BCC!!

[@alexthelastwave9750]

Stop putting the name of the winning horse! For people like myself who could not watch the race live. Thank you.

You people who keep asking this question which you know they never read, are fucking annoying. JUST STOP ASKING!

I love the gutsy, Arrogate beater (twice) Accelerate. He overcame a terrible start and was wide the entire way yet pulled away strong in the end. West Coast, despite the layoff, gave him a real serious run and he runs well off a layoff so the win was well earned. BUT...Churchill Downs is another story. West Coast has competed successfully at a top notch level over 9 different race tracks. He never throws in a bad race and I firmly believe Baffert held him out of training to go for the older division Triple Crown (BCC, Pegasus, Dubai) sweep which he did compete in last year (3rd, 2nd, 2nd). He's super fresh and will be a decent price in the Classic.

Great racing and this horse is a serious runner for the classic, if God willings.

Good race and good winner!

West Coast came into this race off layoff...Ran VERY well and gutsy...West Coast is the better horse...None of these horses come close to West Coast 117 Beyer in the Pegasus

[@jimhager5501]

Accelerate caught wide through most of the race, kicked away in late stretch to win was best horse regardless of what West Coast did in the Pegasus.

[@joechrow8341]

Accelerate was very fortunate West Coast entered the race off the layoff...He should be in better shape in the Classic and outfinish Accelerate

[@jeffj6815]

@@joechrow8341 West Coast was very fortunate Accelerate wanted to entertain the spectators by not winning by the length of a Wal-Mart like he usually does.

@@jeffj6815 Catholic Boy might pull the upset tomorrow. If Thunder Snow can break well, maybe him too. He destroyed West Coast in Dubai.

[@josephfederico5165]

His Beyer rating aside I agree with you here. Not sure West Coast is the better horse but I believe he'll be the better horse for the course on Breeders Cup day.
