I have not been planning to play against him...I actually like the horse better than most people do, as in I don't exactly think he's overrated..I think his accomplishments last yaers were legit because he traveled across the country to SEVERAL different tracks and never had any excuses crushing his rivals...I like that..I don't think his BC Sprint was his best race...he was one that was REALLY affected by the Holding barn situation at Belmont last fall..I know that for a fact...he was pretty wound up and disturbed befgore he ever lined up in the gate that day....I AM disappointed in his '06 debut though...expected a better effort than that

...He will obviously not be an attractive bet this weekend, and while I still believe he is EASILY the BEST horse in the race, I will play Y Y Y at a price, but realistically it isn't a good betting race...Ronny's colt - Cougar Cat - has been training great too and Ronny is phenominal with horses like this..I just wish it was 7-furlongs to be comfortable betting him to win..
