sorry, i don't agree. considering the dearth of talent (other than curlin) in the older horse ranks. i think getting hung up on one performance, especially that long ago, is a mistake. why hasn't the horse done anything since then?? it's a very bizarre deal, and i don't get it at all.
in a way, it reminds me of that south american horse who came up back in the spring, and kept getting money on him-for no apparent reason. and kept running up the track as a result. and yes, i know casino drive is 2/2-BUT i do not understand why a two time runner, regardless of dam, is getting any attention at all. i think he'll be in over his head. where are all the folks who get up in arms when a relative newcomer gets tossed into the fire like this? there are folks who don't think zenyatta is seasoned enough to run in the classic (and i disagree) but these yahoo owners get a pass, because casino drive is by better than honour?
