Finally given an opportunity to sprint for the first time since his impressive maiden win a couple of years ago, he responds with a nice--and more importantly, rallying--effort at GP against the likes of Cpt. Candyman Can.

Does ROLLO take the hint?

Nope. Let's try and improve on that impressive 2010 campaign...by running in the same sort of spots. He should be in the Churchill Downs Stakes.

Looks like it's going to be a bad week for the broodmare Kelli's Ransom all the way around...

Are you ever right about anything? ftfy stick to pin the tail on the donkey sometimes you win..

Coming into the year, I thought he might end it as HOY. I have been waiting for the light bulb to go off with him and thought he might turn a corner and become a monster. The first couple of starts were horrific but the last made me think that maybe, just maybe, he's on the right path. Of course, it was only against nw1x company.....but the bright side about racing these days is there's very little difference between maiden $20k claimers and grade one horses. You see Equestrio finished third in his stakes debut.

I thought it was after the PA Derby (possibly before) that you were saying he was a positive bum, that is why I was surprised.

Oh, I've said it plenty of times and likely will say it a few more times. But like I said, when a horse is a goat....and he happens to be in a field of other goats, he can get it done. There's no such thing as consistent anymore. The ones that you think are bad one day will pop up and win a graded stakes and the ones that you think should be the main contenders will run up the track. So I don't count anyone out of any race.

Wow Banned.

Whatever. I guess getting the garden spot sitting behind the 3/4 specialist wasn't quite the same as his merry-go-round victories in the past, so I'll have to take my lumps for the bad opinion.

Of course, it's not like he won the race or anything. After he gets buried in the Stephen Foster and Suburban, I'll see you at Saratoga for the Forego.

I hope you realize I was kidding?
