I call for a purse reduction
 
That Golden Shaheen is awful. I know it's hard to round up many four-legged dirt sprinters outside of the U.S., but that's a G3 at Saratoga if I've ever seen one.

i was thinking that earlier, im thinking there are some 3yr olds that would jog in there, also think discreet cat would win that race by about 15 lenghts if he wanted to

Agree, which is why my guy Friendly Island is over there with a big chance to win a ton of loot. He may end up the 3rd choice behind Thor's and BCH.

you're joking I take it. from the US side alone you have the first three finishers from the BC sprint plus a couple other solid types.

Who knows how good the filly is from SA is against this kind, but she is tearing up the place in SAf.

Terrific Challenge also looked real sharp in his Dubai race last month.

No, it's the weakest Golden Shaheen I can remember. Even the first three finishers from the BC Sprint are all coming into this off form.

Friendly island won his return so I don't see him as "off form." It's not as strong as some years when the SoCal invaders own the place but any given race can be weak in a given year. Anyone know who Capt Steve beat?

You're right, Friendly Island isn't off form. My mistake. But Thor's Echo's last race was weak, as were Nightmare Affair's last two.

To The Victory with Take up. Collared him and drew off.

Got $40 dollars and change with him in that last race, he'll be that price again and most likely the highest of the American invaders.
I know some who just loves National Colour, she's my Floyd girl! :)

Hey, with improvement, National Colour looks like she could have a shot to hit the board.

I honestly think that from looking it over, that Friendly Island would be the horse I would peg as the one to beat, unless Thor bounces back.

If Thor is back to his old self, I see him taking this one, and if not -- chalk it up for Island.

Forefathers would be up the track against these, with zero question about it.
