Sovereignty and journalism: too early to remind us of confirmed and Alydar?
Is this not what racing needs more, sovereignty and journalism on the way to the play.
The budding rivalry between Sovereignty And Journalism Quickly becomes one of the most fascinating storylines in modern horse races. With both foals that present elite talent and so far this season, their head-to-head matchups and contrasting running styles have added a layer of intrigues that is great for the sport. Fans, gamblers and analysts lean inside, enthusiastically to see how this dynamic unfolds when we go deeper into the racing calendar.
ACE Handicapper and beyond the founder Jonathan Stettin has often noticed a fascinating perspective in this rivalry: he believes that journalism is best if he has a target. That insight wins even more when you consider that we still have to see journalism stalking sovereignty in a race. Instead, it was sovereignty that did the following – or at least keep the tabs off the pace. The idea of turning that script is seductive. Could journalism raise its game if he pursued sovereignty instead of being under pressure early? That question may not have an answer yet, but it becomes rich in possibility and anticipation.
Although sovereignty is the clear leader for the three -year championship if things stand, journalism does not admit an inch. With various great efforts – including potential confrontations in the travers and beyond – journalism has every opportunity to force the conversation. Both Colts are probably on their way to the Breeders’ Cup Classic at Del Mar, a race that could fall like a race for the centuries as top older horses such as Sierra Leone and Mindframe appear in peak shape. The generation of collision that could unfold in California can not only determine Eclipse Award, among other things, but also leave a permanent print on racing history.
Ultimately, this rivalry does what every big rivalry in sport does: raising the bar. It pushes both horses to deliver their best and invite fans to give the outcome deeply. Whether it is about the impressive presence of Sovereiny or the tactical versatility of journalism, they give racing in the kind of drama that attracts new fans and keeps seasoned people involved. While the Breeders’ cup pops up and the bet is rising, this storyline has only just begins.
