Normandy's Return
 

Didn't get a lot of talk yesterday. Realize how fast the track was playing, but man did he ever look sharp yesterday. Hope he has a big year and lives up to the hype finally.

no figure for this yet? maybe 107-110 range.

Looked very good...gotta think BC is the goal

I always got a miler vibe from him. Even a closer at 7 furlongs. We'll see. Exciting to watch him

Seems high considering who ran behind him. My guess is that 103 fits.

100 Beyer

Ok. Track was fast. Didn't think it was that fast.

He beat 2 horses off 300 plus day layoffs and 2 horses that just stink. I am looking forward to betting against him next time out, in any spot that he shows up in.

I know Morgan's Guerilla was one, but who is the other horse that was coming off a 300 plus day layoff?

No doubt the competition wasn't great. But I don't think his race was a mirage either. Wait till you see where he goes. I'm not sold on routes for him either so you might have the right idea.

Maybe it wasnt 300, but Touchofstarquality had not run in a long time.

Just looked it up. Touchofstarquality was 231 and Morgan's Guerilla was 504 and Risk Factor was 291. So he beat three horses of very long layoffs and two horses that just suck.

He ran more recently than Normandy Invasion. Normandy Invasion had been off since May. Touchofstarquality ran in July.

Apples and oranges my friend. The other horse was 291. Touchofstarquality ran in a MSW race, thats it. Normany was a legit Derby horse running in the Wood and Derby.

Agree that Normandy Invasion had much better form going into the race yesterday.

How is it apples and oranges to bring up that the layoff he had was longer than Touchofstarquality?

Because I said 300 day layoff, one of them was 500 plus another was 291.
And thats without even mentioning Touchofstarquality.

Sorry, was just trying to go by the facts.

Your right. I was wrong about the # of days. I apologize.
