I don't know why they don't just make the announcement. There no way they could get a stud deal and a book of mares before the breeding season satrts in like 5 weeks.

They just interviewed Bolton on HRTV (phone interview, he was at the Ocla airport) , he said that Jackson is going to campaign him next year.

Excellent. I'm guessing the Donn will be the logical next start.

He didn't elaborate, just sort of the expected "high road" dialog... "Jess is a great guy", "Jess is great for the game", "they made me a very generous offer", yada yada...He did make it point to mention Jackson's intentions with Curlin, which has to be viewed as a positive...I'd go to GP to see the Donn if he's in it.

I'm already going and was excited to see Daaher there. If it winds up Daaher vs Curlin it could be a heck of a race.

He's in New Orleans. Wouldn't it make sense to start him in the New Orleans Handicap?

That's exactly what Asmussen suggested when asked early last week.

You mean you don't think Grasshopper is going to scare him off?

I figured they'd go G1 but I guess in his case he doesn't really need to put together much of a resume this year, if he wins the BC Classic he is HOY.
