I'm glad he is running there.
My price on Dullahan just doubled.
You're betting against your boy Maker?

why did this all of a sudden change.....after Gemologist said he was going to the wood.

Hansen: 'Fan base' in KY. Chance to stay close to home. Opportunity to win G1 on synth in addition to dirt.

It's that time of year. It just gets worse as it gets closer to the Derby.

Of course he always beats me, when I take a stand against.

Saw on twitter (via Byron King or Marty McGee?) that Maker told John Asher this morning that the Blue Grass isn't a definite yet...

How great is that?
