Hey all

I just read that this colt won the Prix Jacques Marois (sorry, I know I butchered the name of the race) today, which is great news because I adore Nayef and this colt. Can you tell me how he looked today? Is there any chance he'll come to the States for the Breeder's Cup?

thanks!

[my miss storm cat]

I didn't see the race... all I know is that he's pointed to the QEII next month and that Nat was 2nd today.

Hopefully No Chance and Brock know more!

[Betsy]

Thanks, Miss Storm Cat! Tamayuz helped take some of the sting off of Music Note's loss yesterday.........

[brockguy]

apparantly they are keen for the BC Mile.. he is arguably as good as Henrythenavigator and they might have a match up in the QEII in September!!

I think Henry would leave him for dead

Thanks, Brockguy! A poster on another board I visit said that Tam's connections might stretch him out next after the QEII and that, besides the fact that Euros have been skipping the BC in favor of races in Hong Kong and Dubai, would lead us to believe that the BC isn't in the colt's future.

The QEII should be a heck of a race. I'm so proud of this colt and really happy for Nayef.

Im not too sure.. Id say youre right that Henry is better but if you use Raven's Pass as a tool, it's quite close!

[Betsy]

Thanks, Brockguy -how exciting. First things first, though, and a matchup with Henry. That should be a good one!

Having a few days to think about it, I think I will take my previous comments back. I hadn't realised how impressive he was, and arguably, he has beaten Raven's Pass easier than Henry has managed to.
