Thats a joke right ?

GUN RUNNER ( Candy Ride) will be the all time leading North American horse in on track winnings after he wins the Pegasus.
Consider he is a better horse than the one season wonder Arrogate ever was.
the 21st century Man O War....please...give me a break.

Had Gun Runner not been held in quarantine at FG in 2016, he would have more earnings now than Arrogate as he would have won the Pegasus last year or ran second. I still can't believe they are not going back to Dubai with GR.

It just seems kinda suspect to me, that an unbridled, known for breaking, would skip the classic and undergo , who knows what in terms of preparation, probably a few visits from the doctor though; to get ready for a 4 month season, which he could not duplicate in 2017.

Did not win after his trip to Dubai.

kinda reminds me of Benerdini & Ghost Zapper, both overrated & overhyped

I guess you forgot about the Travers and DWC in which Arrogate trounced him.

I do agree with you about Bernadini and GZ though.

Ever wonder why he wasn't racing in the TC races...perhaps the drugs hadn't made their way outta his blood, like they managed to do just before the Travers...pump them up in the spring , race them in late summer. Seems like Bob has a new routine for winning the Travers and the BC ..now this year, there was no spring to go back to the farm visit the doc and get ready to race.

Oh, and I thought it was because he was still a maiden, or thereabouts. I'm glad you cleared that up for me.

You apparently think spelling horse's names correctly is also overrated and overhyped.

Your opinion here has stunk for a long time.

Kudos.
