He's Solid Gold

He ran well. It was a loaded race with the second finisher ( who also ran extremely well ) being an international good thing. He had outworked the Baffert horse who broke his maiden on the Friday of BC weekend at Monmouth. Tagg's horse was also a big story, Coa apparently was in love with him, but the way he ran it feels like something went wrong.

He's Solid Gold had a bit of a trip in his debut but really showed up as a new horse today.

I thought so too, Andy. I like his style of running (from what I have seen so far) more than High Fly's. I wonder what Zito thinks of him relative to being a Derby horse?

He was very happy after the race and has always liked him. The Derby, however, wasn't discussed.

Yeah, I might be jumping the gun just a little bit.

Thanks for the info.

Verbasle was a very nice broodmare. He's Solid Gold was her tenth (and unfortunately last) foal and from the first nine, seven were multiple-race winners.
He looks like he could be a nice colt.

Haven't seen the race yet, but he's built to go long.

As an aside, Slewpy was one of the best NYB's of all time and has become an excellent broodmare sire.
