chatain..

also... forest wildcat was by storm cat... so going 1 mile up to even 1 1/8 should not be a problem

[POINTGIVEN1985]

he was also basicley unrateable, unlike chatain

Keyed enty just needs to find out if he is a miler or stay with sprinting. Either way he should make the starting gat for the BC.

sniper i agree with you, commentator is one of my all time favorite horses

I agree with you that pedigrees don't always translate....

However, just because a trainer thinks a horse is best suited to a particular distance...doesn't always mean they are...and I think you'll agree with that as well.

Sir Greeley, who's a confirmed sprinter/miler type, just missed running him down in the late stages of that mile race....I'd love to see this horse going 7/8ths, with a setup in front of him.

Sun King will be a handful in the dirt mile, assuming he makes it. You know that race is going to have some serious pace every year.
