Default Carpe Diem

As we sit right now I dont think any3yo thus far has shown the pure top of he stretch push button acceleration that Carpe Diem has. His only loss was the BC Juvenile which he was 6 wide around the turn, got cut off and still passed the majority of the field down the stretch to finish 2nd....

I think this horse has a chance to be a major star in 2015...

Thoughts?

Bluegrass vs most likely a week field. I would of rather of seen him head to the Florida Derby so i could get a better idea of how good he was.

He doesn't need points so I dont blame him for sticking with what has worked already for him

There's something we agree on, Smarty.
I am a big fan of this colt, too.

I like him. If he stays healthy and keeps improving I think he could be one of the top contenders to win the Derby.
