I quote El Bid: "Tomcito was defeated by an unraced maiden named Codigo De Honor."
Codigo De Honor was sold to Saudi Arabia for over a million dollars.

I quote El Bid: "The national horses would be lucky to win at Beulah"
Did you know that Dominguin (Peru) beat INVASOR in Dubai?
Yes, The Bid is a ******.

I quote El Bid: "Hed be lucky to be an allowance horse".
Mmmmm...Tomcito came in 3rd in the Florida Derby after a 5 month layoff. Can a forum member be this dumb?

I quote El Bid: "Anybody who likes this horse is in for a very rude awakening when he runs".
This guy is just taking advantage of his right of "Freedom of speech". Thank God we are awake now.

Peru has one of the most beautiful racetracks in the world bar none. To win a Grade I in Peru is extremely hard. Next time, please don't pay attention to a narrow minded guy like The Bid.

If anyone has questions about Tomcito, I will be more than happy to answer.

Sure. He said the horse would be lucky to be an allowance horse, which ended up being pretty accurate. He got an 85 Beyer, which is below par for allowance races at Gulfstream, despite getting the only trip that would allow him to hit the board. Nice story? Sure. A world beater? No way. I think he hit his ability about right on the head.

You seriously think the Sheikhs buying another one at a ridiculously inflated level is a good argument for the quality of a horse?!?
