Mayan King ... The HOTY March Begins
Mayan King's inevitable march to the 2006 Horse-Of-The-Year Eclipse Award ... takes its first serious step on Saturday ... as New York invades Iowa for the 9f G2 Cornhusker "Handicap."
Gary Contessa decided not to stay home for the 10f Suburban ... which may have been a mistake given how soft the field for that race is ... but instead packed a bag full of sfogliatelle ... and headed west. I don't want to recommend that you sell your house ... your car ... your furniture ... your dog ... and your gun ... and bet the proceeds on Mayan King ... because that'd only drive down his odds. But ... mark-ye-well what you've read here.

He left NY because Rathor smoked him in his last race. You can't lose allowance races and be HOY.
After thinking about it, HOY will go to Bernardini, Barbaro, Lava Man or Flower Alley. Can't see anyone else with a shot.

I just saw the past performances for this race ...
... and Mayan King has the highest Beyer rating ... tied with Master Command ... so ... ... where is all this skepticism coming from? Also ... I didn't realize that Prairie Meadows racing is at night. Yikes! It'll be midnight in New York by the time this race is run. Shipping ... post 12 ...screws in the ankle ... no decent Italian food ... and now a midnight post time ... Mayan King will have to be outstanding to overcome all this ... ... but fortunately ... he is.

BB, I should have let Contessa know... "Sam and Gabe's".. A very good Italian Steakhouse in Des Moines. Kind of a Gene and Georgetti's (Chicago).. You've likely not been to Des Moines.. You'd be very surprised. It's a pretty sophisticated town.. A small version of Kansas City basically.

Good Luck to Mayan King on that quest because he'll need it.....unless he grows quite a bit of talent in the next few months, he'll never be good enough to be a HOTY type....
