I am so sick of rain.
Hope everyone is surviving all the bad storms, flooding, etc down here. Its just awful

Tell that rain from Texas to go somewhere other than Tampa.
I'm having sun during the day and Texas at night. You could canoe down my street 5 minutes after it started last night. It was brighter at 10 PM than at high noon last night from the lightning.

None of them. They'd all rather run 8-10 panels. It's what there bred for but one of them will in spite of their breeding.

Name me one mainstream thoroughbred breeder and/or trainer in the U.S. that has the goal of breeding for and winning mile and half or plus races.

Back to AP, if he's ready and feeling his oats on June 6, he'll win breeding or not. If he doesn't any of the other also-rans can.
