i guess. i have a hard time feeling warm and fuzzy towards pletcher horses. probably because he doesn't feel warm and fuzzy about them--at least it seems that way. but yeah, the more the merrier.

if anyone got done in by hard spuns 45, it was hard spun. they could have run 48, ron still wouldn't like the surface.

ags should be the one working in the parking lot at a wal-mart giving kids pony rides for a buck the way he ran yesterday.
he snapped my streak of picking 4 classic winners in a row in big way. i still don't understand why he ran like that.

I might consider AGS somewhat enigmatic for me. Not specifically yesterday. On one hand, I never, ever put him in the same class as Street Sense, Hard Spun or Curlin. On the other hand his Haskell had to make you either take notice or think twice (maybe three or more times). On what would perhaps be a third hand -- even after the Haskell, I never for a split second considered him a better horse than the big three so to speak. Even with that start over the track -- rain or not, I never once considered him my "I'm betting this horse in the BC Classic"
AGS just never looked like he was definitively getting better, moving forward, progressing. Sure, he was better (maybe much better) after the Derby than before, but, he was supposed to be. His Dwyer was a good performance, but he wasn't racing against the cream of the crop 3yo's (like this crop or not, he wasn't racing against the best in the crop). His Haskell was crucial -- that was his day to get a G1 and put that notch on his resume. That's your stallion statement. The Brooklyn was a race against sub-par older horses (don't get me wrong, I'd love to own a few of them). I just didn't think there was that much more in the tank. He often looked like he was all out. That's often visual in nature and you really need to know what you are looking at in order to decipher what's going on. You need to what kind of horse he is, etc., and I spoke with Johnny V. about the horse and understand the kind of horse he is. I just didn't think he was in the first tier. Anyway, great race and a great BC. Eric Last edited by ELA : 10-28-2007 at 12:42 PM.

It's amazing that with the glut of realtively unproven stallions at stand currently, that AGS could possibly attract a quality mare. I predict he'll be standing in Florida for 5K in three years. What a waste
