Two could be heavy favorites on Saturday - play against

Showing Up is no Barbaro, but they say he is very close. Showing Up will mop up English Channel. The Europeans are his only competition. Showing Up is not the horse you saw a few weeks ago when he won the Colonial easily. He is becoming a monster. When Mr. Pessimist Tagg starts talking like he is about an Eclipse Award, you better watch out.

Tell EC to take off his skirt and beat a good European horse than I will give him credit. That fifth place finish last year didn't do much for me. His dogfight with that gimp Shakespeare who was coming off surgery showed EC doesn't have it.

I bet English Channel could have beaten Barbaro on the turf too. LOL.
