Great buy. Horse will earn close to $2M alone this year. If he wins the bonus, that is $5M.

I can't wait until that next race, good for Kev that he saw it live, he's had some bad luck, but I bet he had a good day seeing that race live. This next race will get alot of talk on here and he'll get to see it in person...

[Gander]

Kev didnt see the race live, he had a B Day party to go to and caught a few races earlier on at OTB. Kev will be better than ever and hopefully make it up to Toga the weekend of the Travers.

Nice score both for Bold Ruler on the crush WPS and Oracle on the tri. Wish I had any part of that!

That sucks, but I am sure he'll get to see the next one.

Gander,

Ran outside today for the first time in about 2 months, my knee feels better and I am ready to roll...

Yeah, the only differnce is I gave my picks out before the race and bet with my own money. LOL.

Point-

Good for you, bet you it felt good. I was running very well up until 3 weeks ago then came down with a summer flu and then my achilles started up again. I got 4 runs in this week and starting to feel very good again.

Showing Up won the race didn't he? Why is everyone gloating about Kip Deville?

I was impressed with both. BOTH horses are nice.

KD ran ok. It is Oracle trying to make him into something great. He ran a nice race but Showing Up was tons the better horse. Wasn't even close. They stretch out a little more in the next and the speedy KD will die again and SU will win by 7 or 8. They are not in the same league.

Where is Oracles tri? Or was it in his head but not posted again?

yeah, he may stay on the turf now.

and Strategic Mission, his sire, may become hot. Chester House passed a couple of years ago. that son of Mr Prospector had an abbreviated stud career after impressing on the turf. So Strategic Mission, a turf star in his own right and son of Mr Prospector, could be filling a big void now.

Showing Up is his only good horse, so I don't see that happening.

Go argue with him at finalturn. I respect the guy for sticking with him from the beginning and I wished I owned some Strategic Missions. Tagg owns and trains Stratonic out of Strategic Mission. Lets see how he runs.

Hard to say because he has so few. I am getting a few freebies next spring from a friend in KY, but if I had to pay I would look at Strategic Mission in NY. I think he is only a few thousand.

at this point Strategic Mission is very affordable. and Showing Up nicked to a C+...goes to show you that nicks are only a part of the evaluation process of a mating...i believe Behaving Badly was a C+ nick as well, so it pays to look at the big picture, including nicks, when evaluating the potential of a mating.
