Right place at the right time, didn't stretch out, now injuries are cropping up. I've seen enough of these early developing 2yos disappear to know that my statement of him not winning another graded stakes is a pretty good bet.

I never said Great Hunter was a mighty horse, just better than Circular Quay. I'm not impressed with the 2yos so far at all. I'm thinking that the Derby winner hasn't raced yet and certainly hasn't raced in Stakes company yet.

Im going to agree with Sniper on this one. Besides filly and mare turf racing, 2yo's are my favorite and this year just hasnt grabbed my attention. It could turn out to be a great crop yet, but nothing is all that inspiring to me, thus far.

Really--I happen to really enjoy the 2 year olds this year. I think not only is there potential for some good horses but also the potential of a couple of good rivalries.

Well I'm not saying he is Derby material but hes certainly a very nice horse.
His exercise rider is a board member on here and she is very talented and a class act. I'm sure when she gets around to posting that she will tell us what the story is.

Well you will be happy to know that Listen Indy has a great home now, a girl that used to work for Mike Stidahm has him now , she claimed him for 5000.00 at Lone Star, she is making a jumper and eventing horse out of him and says he is doing really well . I hope that helps you with your soreness.

The horses ankles were slightly filled the day after the race, I saw him jog on a shank up and down the shed 3 times , he was not off. He is being x rayed to make sure there is nothing amiss, and Im 90% sure that the xrays will be clean. Mostly the horse came unglued mentally , which is in his pedigree as his mother was a blooming idiot with tons of run . After he reared in the gate the gate hand bit his ear which I think was the beginning of the end for him mentally. He left the gate almost falling down and then was shut off and ran over because of his stupidity in the gate and not getting off well. To me , and I know the horse pretty well, by the time he got to the first turn he was so pi**ed off that he was like " screw it Im going to the 100 to 1 "
Ill bet you a beer or beverage of your choice this horse will win more stakes and you can take that statement to the bank.

I'll take you on at a line of one graded stakes victory. If he wins one more it is a push, less than one you owe me a beer, more than one and I owe you a beer.
