I am curious would the same thought process apply to St. Liam? Or is his reputation tarnished via association with a known cheater. If not why the different standards?

Didn't Inside Information destroy the field at Belmont in the 95' Distaff?

When I was watching the race and was wondering who the hell was that horse coming up the rail I looked at my program and my jaw just dropped while thinking about this exact same quote. I couldn't believe it but I dont regret saying it if they ran the race again.

If she goes in any of the upcoming stakes for 3 year olds this summer (Mother Goose, Alabama, etc..) would they even be able to attract a large enough field to run them? I don't think they have much of a choice but to enter a stakes race in non-restricted company.

You'll see a bunch of five horse fields.

The obvious question is why did he lose horses when he could do no wrong.. Valid question correct? That is if you subscribe to the theory he's running a bunch of stiffs right now...:rolleyes:

Are you basing your entire opinion on the performances of Visit and Zambezi Sun on Saturday? Because it's starting to look that way.

No, I simply asked the question when he was winning at an alarming rate for a span of 3 years or so I believe. Eclispe after Eclispe...what happened? Why did owner's suddenly decide to go with other trainers? That is if he indeed has a lesser talent base to draw from.

That's what I remember, plus comparing Walden to Frankel is well...not a good comparison.
