He doesn't have a bigger fan than me, but unlike you, the guy who told us Buffalo Man and Giant Moon couldn't lose today, I don't make outlandish claims about him. He's a wonderful racehorse. That's enough for me.

There are many very talented horses who for a variety of reasons don't get a chance to show it.

i am so excited... this quote is off drf.com

Mr. Farmer would love to win the Whitney with him again," said Zito. "He beat the Horse of the Year, Saint Liam, in 2005, and to do it again at the age of 7 would be the ultimate. He's had his share of problems along the way, but we'll keep him together the best we can and hope everything works out. He's a gelding, so he'll be running for the fans to watch - and that includes me, because I'm a fan myself."


2 time whitney winner ? hall of famer ?

[10 pnt move up]

In all seriousness, is there a faster horse in recent memory that is so tied to being loose on the lead?

war emblem was fast, not this fast though


today he was pressed early and kept going, which is something he has never done, also a great sign since he is pointing to the whitney.

The problem with Commentator has never been his talent.....the problem ( duh ) is keeping him sound. He is a 7YO, who has made 17 starts in what is now his 5th year of racing, so just hold your horses before you start planning too ambitious a campaign for him. First and foremost, hope he stays sound, and then perhaps, just perhaps, he will get a chance to run up to his true ability....wherever he runs.

I hate it when horses with as much talent as this one can't stay sound. It is also hard to tell if you don't have inside information on the animal, when they are feeling their best and ready to go and win, or they put in a clunker of a race because they are hurting a bit. I have seen Commentator be absolutely brillant, and seen him have performances that would have left me scratching my head if he didn't have such a low number of starts all these years.

Glad you talked him out of sending him to Dubai. Definitely the right decision. Now, maybe he can win some more GIs in the states with proper timing and management.

[blackthroatedwind]

Can you imagine if someone actually believed me that Nick was planning on sending him to Dubai?

Thank God that didn't happen.

Sorry...excuse me...

I was trying to say good job in a round about way. It's not like I haven't seen trainers over the years make stupider moves, and I don't follow Zito that closely.

i did not belive, knew you were trying to be funny...

BUT why not ? the mile, he would jog.... not the world cup, there might be to much other early speed, plus i am starting to love that 9 million doller monster jalil, i think that is propper spelling.
