He didn't dominate the Malibu in any way, shape, or form.

His race yesterday was good but, as has been said already, he has to beat someone better than Dweebster before he's crowned the best horse on the face of the earth.

Who would he need to beat? Twirling Candy would rip Morning Line's guts out. Morning Line is awesome his heart is amazing he just isnt fast enough. He now has lost to Dakota Phone and Giant Oak while running his A race!

I guess I was right.

You've repressed the memory of the Goodwood.

These run off types that never learn to rate and use their natural ability as learned sometimes dont figure it out race one. But you knew that you simply didnt believe that Twirling Candy would "get it" but now he sits garden stalking trips and rates with ease. Imagine that John where's Yoko?

Apparently you repressed the first half mile of the Strub as well.

The more you dig the deeper the hole gets.. Again,learning is a process. So while the Goodward was bad and the Strub was rough the San Anton was better and the Cap will be even better. maybe I can make it easier for you to understand FlippO the more he does it the better he gets. Does that work for you?
