GS doesn't sniff this horse's ass. Unless Josephine is up, of course.
It's nice to watch a race where the jocks are gapped as a result of fast fractions; rather than taking back on their own, the way they do at SAR.

It's not anything against Woodbine but I really don't take much of what goes on there seriously. The horses that seem to be at their best at Woodbine seem to never really have the same punch in the States. Is Rahy's Attorney a GI horse in America? No. Is Grand Adventure a Grade I/II horse in America? No. Is Society's Chairman? No. What about Sterwins, Marchfield, or Marsh Side? No to those as well. Get Stormy's race in Canada was bad, the turf was boggy and I'm sure that hurt.
I didn't in any way say he was going to beat Sidney's Candy but can he put pressure on him? Sure. The original posts in this thread were about Sidney's Candy being a threat to Goldikova, that's completely different than anything about Get Stormy. Does anyone in their right mind think that Sidney's Candy setting a fast pace on a softer Autumn turf course at Churchill will not set up Goldikova incredibly well? I know I don't.
