Perhaps, but with Tagg training him I can't see him running the horse if he isn't ready.

He'll need to be more than ready if he's going to beat Sightseeing and AGS. JMHO.

He's not terribly slow. I thought his close in the Peter Pan was impressive. Seems to be improving and note he's undefeated at Belmont.

True, but I would say that his best races at both 2 and 3 came at Aqu, not Belmont. Who has he actually beaten in those two Belmont races?

I bet Prom Shoes in the N. Dancer @ CD against Chelokee and he didn't pick his feet up.

I didn't know that. Well that automatically makes Sightseeing a toss.

I am just pointing out that the horse that Sightseeing had to gut out a photo with came back to run a clunker.
I know U don't care who I lose my $$ on.

I really like posters like U that when others are trying to have a legit convo. about a big race U are just looking for the opp. to make a smart ass post.

A legit convo? All you implied was because Prom Shoes had a bad race at CD, that Sightseeing is overrated. That's just ridiculous.

I'm giving legit reasons why he has a shot. Yes, I am a smart ass. Boo hoo.

Here's another reason why I think Sightseeing has a shot...

First Defence looks like he's being trained to steal the race. NoBiz seems like a horse who isn't comfortable if he doesn't have the lead before the far turn. He's not getting it if First Defence doesn't stumble out of the gate. They'll be battling for the lead and that will leave the stalkers Any Given Saturday and Sightseeing with a legitimate chance.

Also Sightseeing improved dramatically May 31st work to his June 10th work and he's adding blinkers for the race. I'm thinking (and would like to know) blinkers were added for that June 10th work.

Thank you.

According to Todays TDN Sightseeing "has had a couple of good works with blinkers . . ."
