well, we're going to find out if he is who he says he is (if i lose) and if he bets what he says he does (if i win) in short order here.

She is a lot less likely than some of these hot-housed colts to break down, since she has been RACING, not being kept 'fresh' (I would love to strike this word from trainers' dictionaries). Her dam Ornate won 7 of 29 races, including a stakes at Kentucky Downs (where it is redundent to say it was on turf); Ornate was also a not-too-far-back fifth in a 12f G3 stakes at Kee. With HH's sire a Suburban winner who was second in the Travers, she is less likely to be backing up at the end of 10f than a lot of the colts pointing towards the Derby.
