i'll put up gayego before most of the others.

Actually he's a turfer, but yes... Nureyev on the bottom gives some pretty stout distance ability. And watching his races, he finishes STRONG.

Oh, from a horse perspective, I really like him. He just brings it, every time, any surface, anywhere. Just don't think this is his ballgame, and will probably be my toughest toss.
Horses like Pyro who got drowned as soon as he was "uncomfortable on the surface" don't do it for me.

wait, so big brown gets stamina from nuryev, but gayego doesn't from lost code? how do you figure that?
and i'm thinking big brown will suffer as he's by boundary, a sire of sprinters.

Lost Code's top earners have all been sprinter/miler types (Kalookan Queen, etc.)... despite the fact that he was best at a mile and an eighth.

I fear Gayego because I think he's good and I'm not using him because I do think he stops after 9f.

i like him too. the arkansas deby has been key recently. but i like the horse that was second better. z fortune should get a nice stalking trip. i think hes assmussens secret weapon. the crop is not that good and this race has been turning out the good ones . both of his entries could run big

z fortune might manage yet another board finish...but a win? i'll be shocked.

Nureyev AWD - 8.44 furlongs
Lost Code AWD - 6.32 furlongs

Lost Code has BY FAR the lowest AWD of any damsire in the race.. Where do you get that he's some kinda great stamina influence?

Tiznow over Turkoman is 10f breeding. (That's Colonel John, by the way.)

That's the pedigree that caught my eye. Turkoman was the damsire of Point Given, and Tiznow won the classic at this track.

Also the damsire of Hard Spun.

i could use gayego or z fortune the arkansas derby has been very influential. both these horses offer a square price derby day

i guess i was going by his races won/placed.

my whole point is that it really doesn't matter anyway. so many winners for years now are horses who supposedly can't get the distance.
