Sir Greeley would be nice to see. Yes, Einstein is a turf horse.

Sir Greeley is just the horse to expose Strong Pretender for the fraud he is. At that point all his goo-goos will either have to acknowledge Sir Greeley as a top horse or that they were wrong about Strong Pretender. Win-win for me either way.

Yeah...but he will be smoked by SNS regardless of what Strong con (pre) tender does.

We'll see, it is Sir Greeley's best distance and third race off the layoff. SNS had better live up to your expectations to win here.

He will become a monstrosity this year. He'll be so good, Invasor will be forgotten by May!! (He can run anything, but I have a hunch 8f just may be SNS's best distance as well.) I'm setting myself up for some big crow come Jan 6th I can feel it!!

If Assmusen has Private Vow ready beware. This horse was a serious contender last yea. After the failure in Quest for the roses he has been pu out . A year of maturity could realy show up with this horse that showed a lot of early ability.

Strong Contendor may not be the horse many have thought he is but he is far more talented than Sir Greeley.

I hope they get to face off this weekend so you can see for yourself how wrong you are. I don't know if Sir Greeley can handle Sweetnorthernsaint but I'm not worried about Strong Pretender in the least.

Strong Contender is more talented than Sir Greeley. Sorry, but he is...

He's more accomplished by winning some terrible 3yo restricted races but not more talented. Here are their last 7 equibase speed figures:

Strong Contender
113
111
102
97
99
97
83

Sir Greeley
125
108
110
110
111
96
113

Sir Greeley went off at 7/2 in the Met Mile. I'd like to see Strong Pretender go off at those odds.

I don't care what odds he goes off as, IMO, he is more talented than Sir Greeley. Overrated? YES, but definitely not a mule. SNS will take care of them both, either way... LOL.

And he was eased.....proving PT Barnum was right once again.

He's a moderately talented allowance type. Strong Contendor has flashed signs of genuine ability, and he certainly has a bad trainer to overcome, but he may turn out to be a very nice horse. Sir Greeley is an above average allowance horse.
