thanks for the heads up, i just watched it and that was real impressive.

i went back and watched all of his starts, and his second start was awesome, especially that real early move he did after early trouble.

clifford sise though? i have nothing against him, but wygod lately doesn't seem to have much of a handle on who his better young horses are.

another head strong tapit.

They have actually loved this horse all along. Before today I thought that maybe they were overestimating the horse, but I no longer feel that way after today's race. I guess it just took him a few races to really put it together.

With regard to Clifford Sise, he's a better trainer that plenty of trainers that have won the Derby. Look at some of the guys who have won the Derby: David Cross, Cam Gambolati, Chip Wooley, etc.

You misunderstood what I meant about Sise. I've always thought of him as pretty decent.

I just don't see him get a lot of top stock from owners. I'm hard pressed to think of any really nice ones the Wygods have sent him.

I had no idea he was still training.

He had quit training for a few years because he had gotten a job as farm manager at a big farm in California. After that farm shut down, he started training again.

I could be wrong, but the last good horse he trained was Idiot Proof for the same owner/breeder. Prospect Park definitely heading in the right direction. Finally learning to settle without the blinkers.
