2nd off a long layoff. Maybe get some more bottom into him for a bigger race next out?

he has some turf in his pedigree. it might be a test to see if he can run on turf. hes not really missing any big dirt stakes right now. so if he doesnt handle the grass they can go back to dirt after. but if he does run well it opens up more opportunities for him down the road.

If the "point" is unclear....isn't that a little interesting?

Man I guess so, but even if you buy the turf argument, hes a router, right?

Gaining Ground · #7 03-10-2010, 03:33 PM

Ok, Im wrong.
I hope he wins.

He won't win, his jockey sucks and is 1 for 38 in BC/TC races.

Love,

Gales

5 furlong race against a 7 furlong race are completely different

No kidding. He just made the comment about him being a router. I was making the comment that he was 4 for 4 at 7 furlongs and less. Is 7 furlongs not considered a sprint anymore?

Hard to like him. All out last time against nothing; and now cutting back 2F --and on that turf course -- which should **** up his footwork nicely.

Nice job of plotting out a path for this horse. Too bad the connections didn't complete the IDIOT TROIKA by keeping the Great Collapser up.

My main man agrees with me, ALL I NEED.

It's the juice race of the meet.

They have run it 5 times. Kirk Zaidie won the first, finish 2nd in the second running and Ness/Centeno have won the last three.

The connections have made no bones about it, their ultimate goal with Musket Man is the Met Mile.

It remains to be seen if this curious spot will be the right move.

They are running for second in the met, does anyone disagree?

This is a first...But I totally agree with you.
I thought his main spring/summer goal was the Met Mile.
How does this help him prep for the Met Mile.
I thought the Gulfstream Park handicap was a perfect fit for him.

Are you kidding me? I dont care who shows up... If QR goes there its cause hes sound and healthy and in that case MM has no chance to win.
