Hey, I was just commenting on his handicapping acumen. Crossdressing, calves and the rest of that gay parade--I pass.

I think its good news silent name is running and frankly it makes perfect sense, though he has little chance. A son of Sunday Silence if he could win this race would be very attractive as a stallion. Wont happen but I applaud the connections for making two long trips in a row.

From DRF.....

Bone chip sidelines Spring at Last
By STEVE ANDERSEN

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Spring at Last, winner of the $1 million Godolphin Mile in Dubai on March 31, will miss the $600,000 Metropolitan Handicap at Belmont Park on May 28 because of a bone chip in an ankle, trainer Doug O'Neill said.

Spring at Last, 4, is scheduled to undergo surgery to have the chip removed Monday. An assessment on how long he will be sidelined will be made following the operation, O'Neill said.

A lengthy layoff could eliminate long-range plans to start Spring at Last in the newly created $1 million Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile at Monmouth Park on Oct. 26.

"A lot of it depends on what the vet says," O'Neill said.

Owned by Paul Reddam and WinStar Farm, Spring at Last has won 3 of 10 starts and $795,650. He was second in the Malibu Stakes and Strub Stakes last winter.

From what I understand, Silent Name is to be at stud here in the U.S. at Adena Springs after this season... I believe that was the original plan. I think it's great for the American breeding industry. We really don't have enough sons of Sunday Silence here at stud in this country. I know there is one here in Florida (Austinpower), but I highly doubt he's getting the book of mares necessary to be successful. Since Silent Name is more accomplished, perhaps he'll have better luck.

i think he rode an inside track where he dictated the pace and would bea miracle to win, but as others have pointed out its not a great edition.

I would think Chatain is a good play in that race.

So, you equate Graded Stakes in Japan to those in America?

He will probably not get drowned as badly as Cowtown Cat but the results will be similar.
