it's bad enough breeders are snapping up the best before they get very far in their careers. but if we're going to start awarding the derby based on pedigree, i'm going to have to look elsewhere for sporting entertainment.

Wait until JCS finds out that Cowboy Cal's dam is in foal to Giant's Causeway again, he might make that horse his early 2012 Derby pick and start structuring Pick 4 tickets now.

JCS... you gotta start your own blog, it would be highly entertaining.

The horse can turf and he can poly. He's not top tier but he can certainly win some races and make quite a bit of money IF spotted correctly.

What he really doesn't need, however, is 12F of abuse at CD the 1st Saturday in May.

Why not just secure him and have the owner and Motion take turns kicking him in the nuts for a half hour instead?

Really disappointing on Motion's part.

I keep coming back to the point if Motion thought he was a dirt horse, why did he start this horse off on turf? It seems what we have now is a Trainer who is adhering to his owners wishes to run in the derby by forcing a square peg into a round hole.
