His first start was in an off the turf start where he beat the legendary Medjool, who has subsequently managed to finish third four times out of thirteen starts since then. In third was El Gato Malo.

His next start was in the Strub, where he finished fifth by 1.5 lengths to Cowboy Cal.

Then the second by 1 length to Z.

Tell me why again this is supposed to wow me?

I will defer to your vastly greater experiences in this arena and schedule an appointment for as soon as possible.

What should I look for in searching out a good proctologist?

Recto cranial inversion is a tough thing ... You may be regular, but RCI is the problem ...

Of course you would think there is nothing to get ...

Get well soon ...

Does not seem like Zenyatta is losing her "edge" after this third work if she is breathing fire today at the barn.

Wonder if the Mosses are waiting for the Eclipse awards on January 18 to make a big splash announcement with the whole racing world watching. Two years ago, Jess Jackson announced at the Eclipse awards that Curlin would race as a four-year old.

Definitely makes the Eclipse awards a week from Monday must-see TV.

It would be stupid to race her, horses don't get better at 6, at least not 99% of them, and you she has no where to go but down.
