Default Prince Will I Am

3-year old graded stakes winner on turf and dirt. Nice race today in the $150K Grade III W. L. McKnight Handicap at Calder.

I love this horse. Bet him on a hunch at Saratoga cuz my husband's name is William, and I'm Princess Doreen. What a shame Javier rode him recklessly in the BC Marathon and had to be DQ'd. No fault of the horse. He's a nice one just coming into his own. Javier stayed on as pilot.

Anyone else a fan?

I can't stand the Black Eyed Peas. Behind the Front wasn't a bad album but their new stuff is garbage.

That's OK if it does - he'll win another.

Pretty sure it would just be downgraded to a GIII.

I believe it was a Grade II on turf and now a Grade III on dirt.

Nice horse, awful band and for the love of God if anyone understands why he's wearing a skirt in the Usher video please explain that one to me.

On a separate note...Presious Passion throws in another clunker. Maybe it's time to give up on him.

Wouldn't make that determination based on an off the turf effort. See how he comes back in the Sunshine Millions Turf.

Here's his Grade I Jamaica Handicap win on turf back in October. Nice to see an endurance horse with a tremendous turn of foot. He "looks" a lot like Lloydobler or vice versa.

I'm a fan of Prince Will I Am too!

I love his Sire Victory Gallop. Victory Gallop just got sent to Hungary! Shortly after, Prince Will I Am came into his own and so did Jaycinto another Victory Gallop Colt! I'm glad that two of Victory Gallops sons got some Black Type.

Anyway, I'm glad to know someone else digs Prince Will I Am as well!
