Last I knew Cosmos Mariner was running in New Jersey. He kind of faded from my favorite list. It use to be kind of a joke between Scuds and I. He never was really up there with my gal Butterface or my son Gander.

Matchup? More like a slaughter.

You are going to be surprised about this one. Trust me. I don't know if you know Tagg but when he starts talking Eclipse he isn't kidding. That guy is the most pessimistic guy alive, he wouldn't say it if he didn't really believe it. Showing Up is a february foal and he has matured a ton since the derby. He will have no problem with the older horses.

Here we go again...Tagg...the pessimist...Come on man...you gotta come up with something new....You know as well as anyone that SU isn't prepared for older turf horses right now.

He is better at this point than EC was at 3, and EC lost the Turf Classic by a nose to Shakespeare when he was 3. No American turf horse has anything on SU. The Euros are a different story.

As soon as they invent a Time Machine, let us know, so we can race them both as 3yo's...

He's raced one time over the turf and you're making him the next Manila. What happens if he gets beat?

Same old song and dance.....it's like there is an echo in here...

EC's record and PP's speak for themselves. He towers over SU and the funny thing is...you know that to be true.

If SU is so good, why didn't Tagg keep him and Colonial and run in the VA Derby. I mean, that was only a Grade 2 $1,000,000 race..
