Stupidest thing I've read today
http://www.drf.com/news/article/112005.html
Even if he wasn't a son of Cuvee ... it's still very stupid. He does deserve special mention for being the nicest 2-year-old to race at PID last year anyway.

12 panels should be right in his wheelhouse.

If a Borrego can win first out at 4.5 then NP can surely win the Coyote Lakes stakes at AQ

Not just today, but the stupidest thing I have heard in a long time. McPeek was also on TVG last week yapping about how Bold Start should love Keeneland's turf course and how it favors front runners in turf routes. I think the last time I looked they were like 2 for 80 or something gate to wire turf routes.

Hold up a second... It's a mistake to think that running 1.5 miles there is anything like running 1.5 miles here. The Epsom Derby is won in 2:32.0-2:36.0, or in other words, about 5 seconds slower than the Belmont. As nuts as McPeek may be, I wouldn't be so dismissive of this concept. It's horses galloping for a seven-eighths of a mile and finishing the last five-eighths with a flourish. It's not an American Classic dirt race.

Yeah. Here's a horse that hasn't sniffed a good trip in 4 straight races. And we have nothing better to do than trash him. Maybe he doesn't get 12F but put him BEHIND horses and make a ****in' timely move (for once) with him and he's certainly not embarrassing himself.

Steve, You're out of your mind on this one. You are totally overthinking it. The final times are slower because the course is extremely demanding and you run uphill for part of it. They don't call the race "the supreme test of a thoroughbred" because it's easy for a horse by Cuvee out of a Clever Trick mare to see out the distance. How do our best American turf horses do when we travel to Dubai for the turf marathons? Hell, the Euro's only ship in a few each year for the BC Turf and they always seem to kick our asses in that race on our own soil.

85/50 thinking BC Marathon. Plenty of turns to bolt on.

Here was Cuvee.
 Just missed the CD track record for 4.5fs in his debut - and set a 20 3/5th opening quarter while dueling in his first start as a 3yo. His Saratoga Special win in the slop was spectacular.

If Dubai Millenniumm had only ducked the Epsom Derby ... I think he would probably be considered the consensus best horse from last decade over Ghostzapper.
