El Gran Senor, Try My Best, Xaar, Spinning World, Aldebaran and Chimes of Freedom descend from Best in Show.

:o

What a family too.

Does anybody know anything about Better than Honour's 2yo colt, Casino Drive? I haven't heard if he has made it to the track yet, or for that matter which barn he is even in.
I'm curious to see how he does given his impressive pedigree and very close relation to Rags.

Horses like Daiwa Major are unable to train.....

A shame.

I'll keep an eye out for him.

Jazil winning a Classic race is that as well IMO.

I think this sums it up for me. The Classic races are the biggest spotlight in American racing. I'd like to believe that they are won by our best horses. Of course, that's not always going to happen and there always have been and will continue to be upsets but it's sort of an extra downer for me when the upset takes place on this kind of stage. For me, it wasn't a reminder that anything can happen on any given day but rather a reminder of how the sport has fallen....when ordinary, no-talent horses are able to win these races. When people take them for what they are worth, as upsets but nothing more, it doesn't get to me as much. But when u have to read about how Jazil's return to racing in 2007 is good for the sport, it makes u realize how bad things are.

fees set for jazil and invasor.

12.5k for jazil (too high imo, but then, aren't they all??)
35k for invasor.

He would have made a great free-legged pacer.

Did anyone actually read this? It sounds like a little Jazil bashing to me. Was this sarcasm at a high level?

it is likely that jazil will be a better stallion than invasor, who will most likely be a total flop.

i'd say that if both are alive and well, that by the time their fifth crops come around, jazil will command a higher fee.
