She also only went 4f in my opinion. The other furlong was a gallop out under no pressure.

He also said that the jock who is on the lead has got to pay more attention to what is going on behind him. Toupes said the horse and jock do not get the kickback like they did during the spring meet. So far so good.

i'd try rear view mirrors

She was a little less than that Euro, but she won.
She ran to her works which were quite exceptional.

Boy, she looked fantastic last night. The gallop out was very impressive too. Saw her back at her barn and it was like she never ran. Very very impressive.

She trained like a star, even if I thought that "she" was a "he". Hard to see teh privates or lack thereof when they go by ya as fast as she went by in the morning!!!!!

What is funny is that Biacone's two year olds are so much bigger than the older horses stabled at Turfway by local owners. Really shows the difference in breeding and buying good stock. I was right on the rail last night at the finishline and she just moved by so effortlessly and so freaking fast. I wanted to ask Biacone what is next for her but I didnt get to see him.

Oracle and Euro,

What are your opinions on Biancone in general?

As a man and a trainer.

I have talked to the man twice in my life for about a total of 15 minutes. 10 of those minutes were spent discussing PolyTrack. The other 5 was spent talking about Leparoux. He seemed nice and a good horsemen. I think Gander or Oracle would know more.

I actually think he is a good trainer, his horses are well prepared, usually well meant. I understand that he gets top stock but he does pretty well considering. That being said I would not put using any edge needed to get the job done, legal or otherwise, past him. He has not been kicked out of 2 jurisdictions because he can't golf. Actually he is a pretty good guy for a frenchman, especially compared to C. Clement.
