Dryfly was life and death to get the mile - Pleasant Storm finished nicely

I think Pleasant Storm has a nice future. . . He's probably my derby sleeper at this point.

Well perhaps IF he is sold to Jackson/Gann/etc. Without being disrespectful to Petalino, The Triple Crown trail seems a bit amibitious.. Besides he could make 400k with the horse running 83 BSF in easy spots.

7 years ago they said a NY bred couldn't win the Derby. 6 years ago, same story with a PA bred (despite PA having a few Derby winners before that). Horses don't care where they're born.

I've followed Pleasant Storm here at Remington. Played him when he romped first time out, then in the 2 year old stakes. I remember seeing him in the paddock for the first time and thinking damn, he looks like a beast. He's defiantly been on my radar, and will continue to be after this fine effort.

Derby horse? probably not.......but then again, it's only January.

Sorry to leave you hanging. I was just teasing Freddy, who apparently is suffering from a severe case of xenophobia tonight (see his work in the Einstein thread for further details).
