I wonder who'll win best personality? Teuflesberg? He's got to be an easygoing horsey dealing with that trainer.

OMG I just remembered I left my grande caramel macchiato at the newsstand! Well at least I didn't forget my Star and US Weekly.

Don't think he's in a class with the other major BC Classic candidates, but his improvement with the added furlong is not entirely unexpected. Just aren't many 10f stakes races in the center of the country these days.

I really don't mean to be a jerk but seriously do you believe anything that you wrote above. You think that the horse is starting to come around because he is bred to get get 10 to 14f's? Don't you think Lanesend has a an idea how Mambo's tend to be? Isn't a bit more plausible that N.Howard is not a cheater because his client can't and the new owners can?
