On the other hand, has anyone discussed Tagg's firster, Nobiz like Shobiz, who won his debut ( albeit with a perfect trip ) at a mile on Saturday at Belmont and earned a Beyer number of 94? I saw he's going straight to the Champagne ( and then, weather permitting, if everything goes right, I expect Tagg to point him to the Cheltingham meet ).

I think that is what impresses me most about Henny Hughes, excellent 2 year old, lasted through the BC Juvie and being flown all around the world (lord only knows why he was, winters in Florida are lovely) and is still impressing.
Was super surprised by Nobiz...it made me forget about having Vanquisher in my picks.
