What a wonderful horse Arromanches was! And so pretty out there, nearly white with his tail flowing behind. Do you know where he was retired to?

Some nice horses in the maiden...

Baffert has Silver Light - sibling to Strong Contender, coming off the layoff after shin trouble, met Stormello & Dilemma in first start and should love the stretch out.

Forward Commitment (8-1), Level Red and Southernmostpoint (8-1) all look solid too.

Crickey, Time Squared is one awesome looking horse. Biancone said on HRTV he doesn't expect a win, but what a looker...

More than a high-priced pretty face, Time Squared just missed behind Level Red.

Count Fleet Stakes this weekend is shaping up with No Reply, Johannesburg Star, Here to Please, Pink Viper and Sir Whimsey. Summer Doldrums & Believeinmenow are listed as possibles.

Lawrence the Roman is sitting out until the Whirlaway.

Has anyone heard anything positive about Perfect Vow? He's owned by Steppenwolfer's connections so I assume he'll be taking the Oaklawn path if they are trying to get to the Derby two years in a row...

Agreed. When these stud farms are overraught with nothing but 1 year wonders, and that's certainly the trend - competition will dictate a demand for more proven stallions - and thus longer careers. I hate to see what we're seeing like everyone else, but like everything in a business, it will cycle around.

why do you demand so much anyway?...an owner can tell you who is great...and they know better than you.
i quit this sport for good when they discuss how good a horse looked eating out of his hay net...or the stride he exhibited when stall-walking....

the quality of his wind (when he is screaming for the stable pony that keeps him calm) the agressiveness shown (when he bit the owner feeding him carrots) such a fire in his belly (when he kicked the blacksmith)...no need to run for a REAL horseman to know he is GREAT:D
