FTFY.

It is always fun to see Americans go over and run against the best the Euros have to offer. I hope he brings both of them over. Should be fun to watch.

Prussian and Cannonball are much more talented than anything he faced in that allowance race.

Did you watch the race? He never was asked or extended, he GALLOPED.

And how doesn't that time favor, half a furlong is 110 yards, if I picture a horse running on a football field, at full speed, my guess is that is about 6 seconds...Cannonball :)....Prussian, I am not sure about.

And do you see the trip he is going to get in this race, I really hope that the overmatched Gomez horse stays in the race to keep Prussian honest....

My mush potential is very low. I am OUT of my streak I think.....

Also, McPeek might be out of his mind because if he thinks My Baby Baby can get 12f, over hills, he has lost it

Yes, I was at Keeneland that day, sitting on the finish line. I'm not saying that Nistle's Crunch can't win in this spot. I was primarily disagreeing with your assessment of the field that he beat in his last race. I'll stick by my assertion that he beat a very modest group of horses, none of whom would compare to either Cannonball or Prussian.

I don't know the mile split of the Nistle's Crunch race, but the fact is that the colts took seven seconds to go an extra half-furlong. That's not real good.

I remembered that he had a big fan here, just couldn't remember who it was.

I added him to the angels thead.

Sorry for his connections and for his fans. A shame.
