facing off against bernardini et al in his first race back would be tough, and i believe a lot tougher than this allowance, in which he only has to carry 116....it's a good spot to come back in, and i'd rather lose to older than to the preakness winner. payoffs be damned...just look at bellamy road last year, tremendous in defeat and hasn't been seen on the track in the year since!

Don't compare him to Bellamy Road, who was/is one the most mishandled horses in history.

The fact is both races are the same distance and the only reason he isn't in the Jim Dandy is because they are worried he might act like the headcase that he is.

HELLO, i wasn't saying he was bellamy road. what i meant was i didn't want him pushed too soon as bellamy was, and than be done for the year. sorry if that was too vague for you.

and since i haven't gotten boldrulers list of comparisons allowed on this site, i guess you'll just have to get over any perceived mistakes on my part.

boy, these trainers can't win. try to bring a horse back slowly in an allowance, and critics want to know why they don't come back in a race like the dandy....bring a horse right back in a gr 1 like bellamy last year, and that was the wrong thing too....damned either way. unless of course the horse actually wins the graded race...win the allowance, and the 'i told you he should have run in the stakes' will begin.

The only break he is getting is the weight for age otherwise running against the 4yr olds make this very tough for him in is comeback.

Just a reminder...Jim J already has Oh So Awsome in the J Dandy.
His spot for Corinthian makes sense.
