Default Callide Valley, Part II
In the 2nd race at Saratoga on Saturday, Gary and Mary West are debuting a 2yo colt named Callide Valley. In the early 1990s, the Wests had a graded stakes winning sprinter with the exact same name.

If he turns out to be anything like version 1.0, then he will be a nice runner.

Same connections just had a much the best winner, I doubt that horse beat anything though. This one is in much much deeper, but Im giving him a long look at 10-1 morning line.

We'll find out in a few if he's a runner, but what a good looking horse.

Eddie Kenneally's 2YOs are the best evar.

I dont get it. The horse was 6-1, same connections as a recent winner. Win early pedigree and solid work tab. What is the problem with saying I liked him? Its not like I was touting the ML chalk or anything. He was 10-1 ML. I would never knock anyone for touting a 10-1 morning line horse.

I didn't say anything about you liking the horse. I scratched into him and knew he was toast as soon as Liston made it into the paddock.

My comment was geared more towards a certain poster who spoke with great fervor regarding the rampant success Eddie Kenneally was due to have at the meet with 2YOs.
