you have to at least commend PG. He had a long hiatus and came back for more. Gotta respect that, at least a little bit

I am glad he explained it too. I thought it meant that Beulah park had re-opened.

If that were true then Beulah would be VERY doable

I would rather bet PG1985's Fair Grounds opinion that BBB's. At least PG once had a winner.

I know I'm a little late on this but

Big Brown is an absolute monster, but everyone already knew that from his maiden win at the Spa. What was so impressive about his win at GP was that he was never asked to run, and was actually held back down the stretch. They don't want him running too hard to save something in the tank and for fear of injury. When the horse broke his maiden, he ran too hard.

And 21.20 is still very fast for a quarter mile workout even though at last year's Keeneland sale, the track was playing extremely fast. I think that the fastest quarter mile was 20 3/5ths at that sale if I remember correctly, which was a new world record. However, at a sale where the track is playing a little more fair, anything under 21 and 3/5ths is considered to be very fast.

I'm glad this one made it back to the track, and also Zada Belle. Now if Gilchrist could only get Indyanne straight, and a certain trainer could get his monster to the races...that would be great! Also would like to see Magnificience come back.

If DrugS says the colt was no big deal then he was no big deal at the sale. Lets see him run 1/2 a mile with WP and live to tell about it before we suggest he is a MONSTER. Impressive yes Monster maybe...BTW this "never asked to run" BS has to stop are you suggesting the colt was idling?

He obviously wasn't a big deal based on his purchase price at that sale. My connections at the time certaintly weren't raving over him because they didn't bid on him to my knowledge. (I'm sure they didn't because they would have been able to get him for that price). Of course, something could have come up on the X-rays. I want to see his preview again.

He wasn't ever asked to run, and he had more in the tank. Certaintly he wasn't idling along, but the jockey was holding him back down the stretch. The horse could have given him a lot more. I don't think anyone would argue with that.

This horse is a monster. My record in these things on this board speak for itself. I have never been wrong about a horse's talent on this board. Every horse that I have said was extremely talented off their maiden win has gone on to be multiple stakes winners except for Indyanne and Zada Belle. Hopefully, both will have their chance.

It's always funny to hear this stuff. What's even funnier is when you hear it from the same nitwits who mistakenly thought that about Bernardini, even though they were repeatedly told they were wrong, only to find out he did in fact run as fast as he could in all his races.

What it really shows is how little they really pay attention to everyday racing where you constantly see horses that appear to be being restrained and yet have nothing when they are theoretically asked to run.

Name the horse that I was wrong about when I picked them out off of their maiden win.
