A lot of people in the media and everyone is raving about the horse. They are calling him names such as a superstar and a superhorse. I think he definitely has the potential to be the greatest we've seen since the Bid. He's got a heck of a lot more chance than most of the others. He's not great yet, but he's on the verge. If he wins these next two races, then he will be considered great by almost all.

If he keeps racing, theres no saying how good he can be. Not sure how anybody can say he will never be as good as Bid. How do we know?
As great a 3 year old as he is, shouldnt we expect improvement when he reaches 4 and packs on some weight?

This is what we've been waiting for a very long time. Hes like Ghostzapper but it actually appears like they will run him more than 4 times a year. Hooray for that.
