I call you immature because you talk of horses wearing "skirts". You come across as though you are still in 8th grade. I guess daddy's money has kept your sheltered from the real world for a long time, hence the reasoning behind why you have no idea how grown ups speak and have intelligent discussions.

Pletcher NEVER works EC fast. The great majority of workouts that you see for EC are 4F in :50+

Im done having a battle of wits with an unarmed person. Good day to you and best of luck to SU the remainder of the year.

You need to calm down. One I don't have daddy's money, I just have a very good job. As for EC v SU, you are a complete baffoon if you think I am being serious. I love SU because I know the horse personally and one of the guys that is living with me this summer while he is working in NY has known him since he was born. When a Strategic Mission has as much success as Showing Up has, that is a major accomplishment. Sorry he isn't out of one of Lanes Ends 50K stallions like Smart Strike and some Theatrical mare.

Right now Showing Up has a long way to go before being in the league with English Channel. SU is coming along incredibly well though. It would not be a shock if he won the Turf Classic against the EC's and Caciques. None of those horses that just keep taking turns beating each other has proven to be exceptional. Winning against the Europeans though is highly unlikely for SU this year, but his 4yr old year is another story.

He is no Barbaro, but he is a nice replacement.
