Not sure how you figure that, it looked to me that he was stretching his distance limits in the ark derby.

done little wrong - yes
consistent - yes
chances of wearing the roses - not good imo. chasing Big Brown I think will be his undoing.

I like this horse but think that a minor placing would be his ceiling as they say. with a dream trip he might be this years Sedgefield.

Unless Big Brown and Pyro dont fire. I hope he wins it . I put a few bucks on him at 57/1

not the worst play having a few bucks on him at long odds, because I think he will be around for at least 8 furlongs.

Always liked him,but I think he would have to really like the track(improve some.) He's gunna win the beauty contest though.

Then again, Sedgefield is a full brother to the '07 champion turf horse, who did his best work going a mile and a quarter or farther. Unfortunately, Gayego doesn't have that stamina blood- not that he couldn't find a way to go a mile and a quarter, I just don't see it.

look at the ones getting the most attention-none seem to scream 10f when you look at the pedigree. does anyone really think big brown is a 10f horse?

i'll put up gayego before most of the others.

Actually he's a turfer, but yes... Nureyev on the bottom gives some pretty stout distance ability. And watching his races, he finishes STRONG.

Oh, from a horse perspective, I really like him. He just brings it, every time, any surface, anywhere. Just don't think this is his ballgame, and will probably be my toughest toss.
Horses like Pyro who got drowned as soon as he was "uncomfortable on the surface" don't do it for me.

agreed - maybe it's my ignorance, but I just don't think hardly any horse is bred for stamina anymore, it's all about speed, speed, speed, and more speed.
which can lead to muddled classic contests.
i don't think gayego is a 'need to burn it up on the lead' type, but rather a horse with a high cruising gear. if he can stay the distance he's an easy place.

If you take a look at Gayego he looks more like Lost Code that comes from the bottom. He will get the 1 1/4 I just hope it in front of the others.

Gayego is so much a better horse then Sedgfield ever was....cmon this horse can run, maybe not 10 furlongs, but Sedgefield?

but we're talking about a 10 furlong race aren't we?
wasn't meaning to compare the horses per se, just that I think Gayego would need that kind of trip to be a factor.

You're right and we should be looking for the plodder that runs those 12 second splits in this race. Who is he?

maybe, but whenever you throw a dog **** horse in a comparison its very difficult for anyone to see beyond a straight talent comparison. Gayego is a top class horse who could get 10 furlongs, and I suppose at 18/1 (thats what he is at on Pinnacle) and big brown is 5/2 its an easy handicapping decision. He can win this race but depending on his odds is how I would rate him (I know I know, its wishy washy but I relate everything to their price).
