Everybody from here to Wiscokee talked about this horse like he was Lure or something. That field he beat at Saratoga in the Hall of Fame was laughable. They were so slow that After Market had to make the lead, LOL!

Wait until he sees the speed of Electric Light and Touched by Madness. No sir, he wont be anywhere near those 2.

ok... the horse is so lightly raced and your already saying hes overrated, i just dont see how. great breeding, great connections and has has only one bad race in his career which i think its obvious something went wrong in, because were just seeing him now for the first time since

Okay, you probably dont live in Saratoga where people worship Mott. This guy was the talk of the town here all summer. Just dont think hes ever done anything to earn it. We'll see how he fares against these horses who know how to win.

Einstein and Ecclesiastic will be some good competition... I think After Market will be 4th or better. Considering this is his first race in, what, 5 months, it's sort of a self-fulfilling prophesy to say he won't do well.

I never said he wasnt going to do well in this spot. I said he wouldnt be near the 2 horses with good early speed (I meant early on), so hes going to have to find a way to work out a trip and not only pass these 2, but hold off horses like Einstein and Tiganello. I think he runs something like 3rd or 4th in here.
When I see the PP's I will give my top 2 picks.

i like 5 min from saratoga and in my original post i said this will be a good race for him vs some good competition and possibly a perfect setup for stakes company.... im not saying he has to win but i am saying he will turn out to be a very good horse...
