I don't get it.

Their campaigns closer resemble something we would have seen a few years ago, not the new trend of "fresh horse," two-prep campaign.

Creative Cause -- 5 starts as a 2 year old, 3 stakes start preps

Secret Circle -- 3 / 4

Hansen -- 3 / 3

I wasn't speaking in terms of relative talent.

Ah, I see, I thought of that a bit. I guess Went the Day Well gets a slight pass from me because of the purchase and that stuff. Gemologist's 3YO "campaign" is a tad annoying as well.

I like this thinking but Hansen's owner really irritates me.
