GW may not scare off anyone here but I wouldn't ignore him either. My main concern for a horse like that coming over here for the mile is the different course configuration and the different way the pace could be run, i don't think it plays in his favor.
with that said, i thought his effort today was remarkable.

thanks for the thoughts.
I respect GW.
but Im not sold that he is Rock of Gibraltar #2 like some are making him out to be.
I'll take Libbretist again if they meet.
and Zeig,
I actually think Birdstone was a lot better than I and a lot of other ppl originally thought.
he ran a bang up race later that summer in the Travers defeating a pretty good stablemate in the The Clffs Edge.
closed well into a really slow pace if I remember correctly.
what sucks about Eddington was that he was just starting to figure it out when he had to be retired.
looked really good on turf in FL and then won the Pim Special, which was the Grade 1 they needed.
Repent
