Tim Surf cat has NEVER beaten a real field, never. No way can you put him on any list of top horses until he does.

Beating bad horses > not running at all

When we last saw Flower Alley, he was better than almost anyone in training now. He'll be in the top 3 when they head to Churchill in October.

I am not doubting his talent or ability and would be surprised if he wasnt a top horse by the BC. But until he races his name doesnt belong with Lava Man or Surf Cat.

As Seek Gold roared home to take the Foster, I would love to have known the thoughts of Mr. LaPenta and Mr. Zito.

I was happy for Cal Borel, what a genuine display of emotion you could see on his face.

This win by Seek Gold was not a fluke as some of you might want to think. Didn't he finish 2nd to Saint Liam? Moquet finally gets a horse to prove he is the horseman he really is. Calvin Borel is a top of the line rider. His assurance of his win was no surprise to me. When the money is on the line, never throw Borel out. He tries twice as hard as any other rider out there.
