Nice to see The former Arlington Million winner will be back soon. Will add some much needed depth to the division.

Thanks for the update... I like him too.

Thanks Stormcat! Glad someone else missed him.

Finally nearing a return since his last race in The Arlington Million over a year ago, here's a list of his workout activity.

11/18/2008 WO 3F 0:35.6
12/18/2008 GP 3F 0:37.2
12/24/2008 GP 4F 0:48.2
1/3/2009 GP 4F 0:48.4
1/11/2009 GP 4F 0:50.0

Update, from DRF (poor guy)...

That's a shame, atleast he went out on a winning note.

Today 2nd (1:28)

As much as I like him, if he is indeed running today you have to play against him off of a 25 month layoff. Hope he does well though.

Very impressive return.

$10.60 exactor for:

a 4 horse field, in which

only 2 can possibly run 1-2

and only 1 TOWERS over the field (if ready)

what a ****in' racket up at WO.:rolleyes:

and it just keeps on coming up there

I mean, it's almost comical following all those players on this forum putting in all that time (all those races with full fields) to get pick 3 and 4 plays in that, usually, pay less than that. :zz:

ha ha ha ...



and I love all those 'GOOD HIT' s, afterwards. :tro:

Agree Coach, I'll have to be honest he ran alot better than what I expected he would today, you never know with a 2 year layoff what can happen to a horse, in addition his best races have been at Gulfstream and Arlington Pk not Woodbine, an excellent job by Day Phillips to get him back to the races.

I didn't break the bank on him but I thought it was absolutely insane that he was 2-1...even 9-5 against that field.

delete thread :D

If he can stay healthy he can be a force next yr, he does seem to have an affinity for Gulfstream and I always thought he was at his worse on Woodbine's euro style turf course. So that one race he came back on this year was a tease for what may be things to come.

Sorry? What did it say on DRF?

He's been retired.

Hope he has a long and healthy life. :)
