They're probably just not up yet.
And he truly showed us how great he is by beating that stellar field.
He is a CHAMPION.

EDIT: let me reword this. He hammers horses on dirt that hammered him on POLY. And these horses are not very good on dirt. So, why am I excited?

He's certainly a lot better horse than you have been suggesting.

If it makes you feel better ( or maybe worse ) I was referring to actual nimrods....and not you.

funny, just a few weeks ago everyone was gushing about the queens plate, with a fantastic finish between not bourbon and ginger brew. the QP winner was in the field for the prince of wales-of course he is only one horse....
i guess not bourbon likes the dirt as much as harlem likes the poly.

I'm certainly not suggesting he is the second coming of Holy Bull and perhaps not even Macho Uno, however there is a quality horse here for those who want to take a deeper look. I'm not sure if it's this board or perhaps other boards are simular, but hopefully the hype that may becoming associated to this horse is not this overblown. No one is saying he is great just yet, certainly I never called him great.

which is why i don't understand why people call AWT an 'equalizer'. it just gives rotten dirt horses a chance to beat good dirt horses when they have to run on 'dirt'-so how is it an equalizer??
