They want the accolades but also want everything else handed to him.

I swear to god that I could ride this horse in the Foster and he would still gallop.

I bet a handicap horse in Australia about three months ago and he was carrying 148 lbs...

Won by a nose.

Edit.. He only carried 144 and it was longer than three months ago.

He should skip it. Stephen Foster is a joke. Go to the Suburban and then the Whitney.

The eyeroll wasn't meant for you Zig. It was for the title of the thread, I didn't have to read the accompanying story to know that it would make me want to....

Is the Suburban even an option? Didn't the NY license for Midnight Cry expire?

this is crazy, he is easily the 1 or 2 in the world, he should win next sat. for fun.........but if i were his connections i would do this with him, have some fun with him... i would take this route.

suburban...
whitney....
turf classic....
arc...
now if he ran that table, you could consider him a all time great.

Curlin 128
Student Council 118
G'hopper 117
Brass Hat 116

What was the last horse to carry 128 whie giving 10-11 lbs here? I believe he carried 132 in Dubai giving all 19 or more. Pretty impressive. Can't recall the last horse to be giving this kind of weight.

it is impressive but it looks fair to me. without giving weight like that the race isn't interesting.
