Oh I'm so excited for the horse and connections. I won't call my feelings about him a 'tout' by any means as I didn't feel obligated to call him out, it was more a "I'd love it if this horse did good" based on who his relation is and his people. That isn't the same as "watch him kick butt"... I had a feeling today specifically when Mike was all 'he's got more speed than Giacomo' that it would perhaps bode extremely well for him at some point. Whatever else happens, good for him.
I've got a few horses that I don't necessarily have as my idea for winning the Derby purely on talent but I definitely have a soft spot should they get it done. Does that make sense to anybody?
