Game On Dude is the big campaigner of the bunch.
He's the one who has Baffert drilling him and he's danced a lot of dances.
He's competed in a major Derby prep, he's competed in a 3yo Classic race. He's competed in two different Breeders Cup Classics and a Dubai World Cup. He's competed on 9 different tracks.
Little Mike and Wise Dan both travel all over as well. It would be fun to see them asked to do a little more and not be so cautiously handled.
The 5-year-old gelding, Comma To The Top, just went old-school and won a Graded Stakes race in New York off of just six days of rest.
Perhaps a lot more horses should be gelded before they race.

yes, they should be. but too many people think they'll have the next storm cat or ap indy. people lamented horses like kelso, forgo and john henry being gelded-but they may have never become the horses they turned out to be had they been left intact.
