Default Flashy Bull is back

Remember Flashy Bull? Second in the Remsen in 05 and last year's Fountain of Youth? Won the featured OC/allowance at Aqueduct today. TVG guys said it was his second in row since his comeback.

Sounds good. What is he coming back from ?

His dam, Iridescence, has been a very good producer. I'm looking forward to see how her '05 colt, Tame That Tiger, will do. He is 4x5x5 to Crimson Satan. Interesting to note that Iridescence is from the family of Brilliant Sandy, whose sire was Crimson Satan.

Yes, I invision him getting buried in the Met Mile on Memorial Day.

He's run a couple of nice races in a row now, and he seems to be in good form, but I just don't think he's that good. The field today was really not that strong. But, he did win nicely.

I guess he would be what they call a "filler" in numismatist terms.

That would not be a good sign for the rest of the supposed good horses.

Ya know, every horse that wins an allowance race isn't going on to immortality.

there is not much out there, i say it day after day, there is not much as far as quality in this sport, its to the point with me, where all i care about is the betting part, if im not betting i dont even follow, i used to be on drf.com everyday and dvr the new york replays but not anymore, i could care less about 10k claimers and 5 horses fields, and as for flashy bull i said he could be, with a question mark at the end.......

New York is the Sh*t!
The Bull is still hurting from Derecks shoe in the snoot in the Derby. It's not in his trouble line in the Derby PP but notice where he was making a STRONG middle move between the 1st and 2nd call, almost 7 lengths then stalled. That's when he took a shoe to the nose. Quality horse probably doesn't want to run behind anyhorse anymore. I didn't see the race yet. But I bet tris and lost so it obviously didn't turn out the way I thought. The tube went out at my OTB so I don't know the order yet. Really don't care, did Indian Hawke lift a hoof? That was my Ex with a win saver.
