And do you see the trip he is going to get in this race, I really hope that the overmatched Gomez horse stays in the race to keep Prussian honest.... |
Yes, I was at Keeneland that day, sitting on the finish line. I'm not saying that Nistle's Crunch can't win in this spot. I was primarily disagreeing with your assessment of the field that he beat in his last race. I'll stick by my assertion that he beat a very modest group of horses, none of whom would compare to either Cannonball or Prussian.
I don't know the mile split of the Nistle's Crunch race, but the fact is that the colts took seven seconds to go an extra half-furlong. That's not real good.
