it must be nice to have nice racehorses and go and see them in your own kingdom whenever you feel like it.
ok forget this is fischer for second, does anyone NOT see vineyard haven's left front leg flopping around on the head-on views of his races?? I don't care what a vet says when looking the horse over, if the leg flops like that when he is working hard- it is either bad natural confirmation, or a tendon problem. No matter how fast he may be now, it is a bad sign. HOW CAN NOBODY SEE THIS??

Congrats in advance when this horse suffers some sort of setback. You called it, dude (about 4 or 5 times now by my count). Good eye. And thanks also to Calracing.com for offering head-on views...

Not my aim at all. Not looking for credit or predictions. Surprised some of the trip handicappers didn't already mention it. Guess not everybody factors the same things... The individual horse is what interests me here, and perhaps the more popular issue is the new owner of the horse. On that subject I believe that HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum can win the Kentucky Derby on his own terms.

$12 million is not a bad price. This guy has made so much money from oil over the last few years that $12 million is what he makes in the first 20 minutes of each day.
Spending $16M on an unproven horse is ridiculous, but $12M for this one is actually not that bad.
