It was different when these horses were running 10-15 times a year. If you plan on a 5 race campaign and at least one is a "prep"...give me a break.

Bluntly looking at this race last night, I was not too condident in any of these, if I were forced to pick one I guess Tiz West is the best turf horse in here, however he has a tendacy to dissapoint. If Becrux and C John take money he might be the one.

Like Ron Ellis did with Rail Trip, using the Gold Cup preps, the LeRoy and and the California, to toughen him up for the main goal.

NT?

Who's the other legend? Wouldn't that be sweet if Hossy and PG were reunited?

Not a bad run from Get Funky who was sent from the gate and never really got a breather.

the pace and final time were very legit, it certainly was not a horrible group.

Nahhhh

Why settle for 'graceful'/powerful runs like that? We really need to get him back on DIRT, where the real horses run.

Maybe they can work some speed into him and make him a kickback specialist.
