- - 3 Yo's/ the "2nd season" (http://www.derbytrail.com/forums/showthread.php?t=339)

I've enjoyed watching Bobby Hurley's Stream Cat run since I saw him up at Saratoga last summer. He is pretty much turf exclusive now at three, last won in a $150,000 stakes at Lone Star on Memorial Day...I believe finished 8th or 9th in last years BC Juvy.

Yes, he had an injury, and the DRF states that he has no recent workouts. Other than that, I don't know what is going on with him.

Rose,
he was diagnosed with an ulcer in his throat if I recall correctly. It wasn't a leg injury.

Really? I thought he had an injury? Oh well. I'm probably wrong. An ulcer in his throat? You know I have never heard of that before. I didn't even know that horses could have ulcers in their throat. You always see ulcers in their gastrointestinal tract. That sounds serious and icky. See, I learn something new from these message boards every day. Do you know what is going on with him now though?

I saw him when I was down at Palm Meadows and someone said "there is Barbaro". I went wow. Then my friend said "that is Barbican not Barbaro". Barbaro was more impressive looking, but not by much.

Based on what those horses did the rest of the spring, that doesn't seem like any great accomplishment.
Has he done something else that makes you guys like him?

Also, these are my first posts on this board since I moved from the ESPN board today. Seems like a really nice site. To those responsible I say, nice job.

i haven't read thru the thread, so not sure anyone has already replied in a similar manner...

corinthian seemed to be on the improve. as for 'only' beating first sam, that one is a heck of a horse. as we all know, the bluegrass stakes is no indicator of a horses form. sinister minister didn't do anything to back up a huge win, bluegrass cat faded in that race, only to finish second in the ky derby. as for first sam, he was injured at the start of that race, his worst career finish. don't stick a fork in that one yet.
