Yeah, I agree with most of what you stated....One thing about Neil Howard and his owners...they do whats best by the horse in terms of timing, etc. - so I'm sure they have there reasons....they NEVER make decisions based on money...not Mill House, not the Farishs, or anyone....Howard has free reign to do what he pleases and he deserves that because he is as good of a horseman as there is in the country, handsdown...he doesn't cheat and he ALWAYS does best by the horse...Showing Up is more talented though, you're right about that...
