(Wow I didn't know Rehoboth was still running).

I am surprised that with a name like Cuba it is not a florida bred

I wouldn't take a short price on United States...I thought his maiden win was slow.

I'm shocked United States isn't running for Chinese owners.

Cuba is nine years old?

God I'm old. I remember scoring with him when he broke his maiden ( I think at 7:1 ) on the inner.

I bet a little on him in the Wood that year at 85-1, actually stuck his nose in front with a couple furlongs to go :o

He's been quite a useful NJ bred over the years. Up to $750k in earnings now.
