I agree with all of this.

What I meant ( and I realize my post/points were jumbled ) was that it would sort of have cache for the owners....that is having a homebred stallion. i.e. it would be cool for them.

Not only that but sired by a homebred stallion. I think that Broman still has an ownership interest in Friends Lake.

"I would think that Friend Or Foe would have to exceed the accomplishments of his sire dramatically to have a shot at a KY farm."
I wouldn't be too hard to do but he certainly won't do it within the NY Triple.

Despite running a little green in the stretch, this horse looked awfully good to me yesterday. Don't know what the BSF for the race was, but had to be real close to triple digits. If it were me...I'd follow Andy's suggestion and stretch him out in the Jim Dandy and see what happens. RM said he galloped out a strong 3/8ths after the wire without a problem. Seems to me he's earned the right to try open company on a big stage.
