I Really Wish I Could Have Seen......

[The Indomitable DrugS]

Sound Big Brown VS sound War Pass.

Sound Quality Road VS sound I Want Revenge

RA VS sound Zaftig, sound Icon Project, Careless Jewel, and Zenyatta at 9fs.

Surprised no one said for Cigar to stay on the dirt after his huge maiden win.

Cigar was from the all-time worst 3yo male crop ever .. had he stayed on dirt after that huge maiden win he'd probably go down as one of the 5 best horses ever. Might have won 26 in a row instead of just 16.

These are all kind of about distance and surface... Even though War Pass plodded home in The Wood, I think he would beat Big Brown up to 9 furlongs.

Quality Road is serious, I wish they would lay him off till next year. He would be the best handicap horse around, I know its crazy to still think QR is better then Summer Bird, but I do.

I think your overating Zatfig just a tad. Careless Jewel is ok, Zenyatta would have won The Woodward for fun, its a shame she did not come. Sadly enough Icon Project might have been the best of this group and we will never get to see it.

All of my comments are based on dirt races, thats part of why I wish QR would be layed off till a Gulfstream campaign. I really beleive he is as good of a horse we have had in a few years. Summer Bird is a grinder, hes really good as well, but I feel QR if right can be BRILLANT.

No way man. Icon Project would have been destroyed by Zaftig.

The others, well, that's all a tossup to me.

How about this year's Kentucky Derby with Quality Road and I Want Revenge in the field?

Or this year's Travers with Mine that Bird and Rachel Alexandra joining Summer Bird and Quality Road?

I got one for you... The way the Derby was run, and with those 2 big defections, and with the way Rachel won the Oaks, I dont see how she wouldn't have won the Derby for fun, she would have had a huge lead while MTB was making his move, she would have CRUSHED THEM.
You know Im not the biggest Rachel fan, BUT ITS TRUE. She might have won the Triple Crown... She clearly would have won the first 2 legs, especially with QR and IWR out.

This thread started as a really good thread and turning into guys just whining about missing live races. The initial post was a really good concept.

I wish I had seen my dog as a puppy. I got her when she was 2 1/2 and now she is 9 and still beautiful.
