Mike will likely be on ATRAB tomorrow or Tuesday to talk about what's next for SNS, his strong group of 2yo fillies, and also Weigelia's less than stellar performance at Calder...

Steve don't miscontrue my remarks to mean anything negative about this horse. I just thought perhaps he was back a little quick and that Dominguez really emptied him out yesterday.
My respect and love for this horse stretches back to a december afternoon(a wednesday I believe) when he ran a hole in the wind in the first race at Laurel and got dq'd. I couldnt believe how great he had run that day.
I tried to buy the friggin horse for a client twice, after his dq win, and then after his maiden win at Aqueduct. Your buddy is an outstanding trainer, and a very nice and professional guy on the phone.
I just wanna see this horse last a long time as the only horses we get to root for over an extended period of time anymore are geldings.
I think he has an excellent chance to win multiple grade ones next year and be aong the very elite in the handicap division.
