I've liked him for a few races now... was VERY thrilled when he won at Keeneland.

I have cashed quite a few tickets on him. I keep thinking every race, there is no way I can get a good price on him, and sure enough I do. Nailed the exacta and tri in his last race agianst SU. And his race before that in Calif. He is a really nice horse, now that he will rate somewhat. Remember the race where he was 45 lenghts in front on the backside?

i saw him at the Va. Derby last year. i was convinced after that race, they should not run him beyond 1 mile.

i see him getting better and better with each start. IN the makers it seemed like he was unprepared for the start, was pushed out in the first turn, 4 wide down the back, 3 wide turning for home, put away a game showing up and held off the others. he earns a 106 beyer while having a bad trip.

At a mile I think he is great. Anything past that I think could be a challenge. I still think Showing Up is better, but KD is going to be one fine mile'r.

Yeah I think SU is a nicer horse but with the layoff, I thought Kip had a great shot agianst him. And it paid off nicely.

any race longer than a mile, SU is the better horse, more versatile. IMO
