A 4yo Orientate with just 14 career starts??!! Red Flag City...It is just refreshing to meet one of the guys who is fueling the pools for us

and i guess by this reasoning Chocolate Lava would also outclass Zenyatta because she sold for $400K while Zenyatta was a discount $50K horse.

Nope Jim, I'm with you on Zenyatta 110%. She is the grizzly bear they all will try to beat on Breeder's Cup Day. When they're fast they're fast.

I've taken two early wagers out for the Breeders' Cup. Zenyatta and Casino Drive. I got 10/1 on Casino for the Classic the day after he scratched from the Belmont Stakes. Of course if he/she fails to go to post I still lose.

I'll say it straight up. I think Casino smokes the Classic field, no matter who is in.

Here is why, as sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words. (Just like Dilemma). Notice the crowd as they gaze at the million dollar yearling all grown up as he dances for them in the paddock and prepares to leave Mint Lane in his dust in this years Peter Pan Stakes at Belmont. (I framed this pic for my living room wall). Shades of his grandpa, Secretariat>

Based on the two rockets mounted to his lightning fast hind end. Casino Drive is the 2008 leader on the NHRA tour. He runs faster than John Force's Castrol funny car. Casino is currently in Utah preparing to break the sound barrier and set the world's land speed record upon the Bonneville salt flats later this week.
