If you want to see what a real sensational under-tack video looks like, watch this work by Tempted To Tapit's sister Dance Card two years ago:

She was hip #64 at the sale and went 9.80 unblinkered. Hip #63 at this same sale was Union Rags who had the joint 2nd fastest unblinkered 1/8th of the sale at 10.20 -- you can watch Union Rags work in the link above by clicking the previous button after Dance Cards work.

Dance Card took forever to get to the races (a terrible sign with these kind of horses) she's 5-4-1-0 lifetime and won the Grade 1 Gazelle last time out even though she drifted out very badly again.

I raved about Dance Cards work in the thread for that sale. It was the kind you see only once every two or three years. She would have been incredible if not for losing her entire 2yo season and the first half of her 3yo season to physical issues.

Speaking of Fasig there is some talk going around that this could be the last year for that sale. I believe there is only a 130 something cataloged, then after scratches and more scratches after the breeze show they will be lucky to have 60 to 70 to go through the sales ring.

Kauai Katie and your guys horse Northern Lion shared the bullet at that sale last year.

How's Northern Lion doing? He had that nice 5+ length maiden win at GP when he was finally allowed to be on the front end ... and I believe he was entered in the Pasco, but scratched and no races since.

I initially thought that race was more visually impressive than it actually was considering the stranglehold Albarado had O T B Bob under which allowed the soft fractions for NL.

But then he ran an ok 4th as a maiden in the Pasco, and since, the race has produced two next out MSW winners, Finn's Quest and Do the Roar, and also Nevada albeit on the drop to MCL 25... so perhaps the race was better than originally thought.

He had a little set back after the GP race but he is doing fine now. We have Stalls this Spring at Keeneland, Churchill and Woodbine just not sure where he's going to be yet.
