Cacique, Relaxed Gesture, and Showing Up in Man O War
 

I am not that impressed with Relaxed Gesture or Cacique. I think Showing Up wins before the euros take him out in the BC Turf.

I really like cacique but think showing up just has more talent. If he keeps running the way he has been I like his chances in the BC.

Pais,

I pm'd you.

I think Showing Up will run well enough in the BC Turf to win the Eclipse, but that probably will be a third or fourth place finish behind the euros. I think he is better than any american turf horse. He is definitely on the improve and the older turf horses seemed to have all peaked. After Market and Showing Up should be a great rivalry next year.

right back @ you

don't be so sure....
with anticipation cleaned his plate all year, and then came second to high chaparral in that one's lone north american start. HC got top turfer that year.

Cacique is the best American campaigned horse we have beyond 9f. He wins this race. His versatility is the key.

I think Showing Up will beat him. I forgot about Aragorn though. I think he could win the BC Mile and the Turf Eclipse. Showing Up though will put in a good effort in the BC, but I can't see him winning.
