Hm. I would like to have a slow one like him. Stallion page, over a half mill in earnings, multiple graded stake winner on turf and dirt, grand looking. Where can I pick a slow one like that up.

Wonder if they consider the Million now for him, especially with English Channel not going?

Just read on bloodhorse that he is going to the Million next. Awful ambitious and would be hilarious ball busting if he were to win the Million and ENGLISH CHANNEL COULD NOT!!!

That race came up like a so-so alw. race. I am sure track officials loved putting up 200k to attract that field.

If you can find two, I will take one. I wouldn't mind a slow one with a sheet like him.

You forgot to mention that he's a brother to a multiple champion mare who was sold for a world record price. Yeah, he sucks.

Next race will tell me where he stands. He didn't beat a whole hell of a lot in that race. The Million is always a highly contended field so he hits the board in this race and I'll consider him a good horse. I would like for Pletcher to ship him now and get acquianted with the area. With Pletcher having stalls at Arlington, it is now possible

I 'm not calling him the second coming of Man O War but he's better than an empty stall and right now, his prospects are very good. Clearly he's an improved horse on grass. As a lightly raced 4yo, he has room to continue to improve.

I like the Jones'. They are very nice people and they really know and understand the game. Mrs Jones in particular really loves Sunriver and since I like her, I follow the colt.
