Well think about it. He passed all derby preps, passed all TC races. What is he going for?? The Travers?? sorry that goes to Big Brown as well. Even if HR does win the Travers, the 3 YO HOY is bagged up by BB. Knowing Frank Stronach, he is looking for a monster 4 YO with this one. Just my opinion

You're right - the only race left for the next six months is the Travers and Big Brown's already got that locked up. Wrong. (Just my opinion).

If HR (at this point) couldnt beat pintos in the queens plate TRIAL he surely will contend in other 3 YO stakes races on US soil with regular horses. Fine put 1 or 2 more races in him by years end (G3 or less) to give him some soild racing experience. What do you think?

I would like to think we have gotten past this apparent conceit that our horses are so much more superior than horses not based in The U.S.
