I certainly hope people will continue to ignore the difference.

Overextended got competitive numbers for his BC and Delta Jackpot efforts? Must have been a modest field.

Aside from that though, to some degree, based on his recent form and mismanagement, one had to consider the possibility that Overextended was thoroughly toast after his ridiculous 2yo campaign.

And Notional had a severe injury to overcome last year, which probably kept people off of him (in a graded stakes that is) because of his recent form, too.

Anyways, I wonder if Henning will get Liquidity, too, who has a bowed tendon to return from.

And while we are talking about Reddam horses, what about Mistical Plan's recent 3rd in a Belmont stakes race (Ogden Phipps)? Was that an improvement from her synthetic form figurewise? If not, and she gets transfered to Hennig, it will be interesting to see if he moves her up as well.

While Overextended getting back on track was good to see, let's all remember that it was against NY bred company, as was mentioned earlier in the thread. It's also worth mentioning that he ran down a horse who has now seriously shortened stride in the final eighth of every race he's ever runand has only one win over a ridiculously biased inner track to show for himself.
