The problem with Commentator has never been his talent.....the problem ( duh ) is keeping him sound. He is a 7YO, who has made 17 starts in what is now his 5th year of racing, so just hold your horses before you start planning too ambitious a campaign for him. First and foremost, hope he stays sound, and then perhaps, just perhaps, he will get a chance to run up to his true ability....wherever he runs.[/QUOTE]


I hate it when horses with as much talent as this one can't stay sound. It is also hard to tell if you don't have inside information on the animal, when they are feeling their best and ready to go and win, or they put in a clunker of a race because they are hurting a bit. I have seen Commentator be absolutely brillant, and seen him have performances that would have left me scratching my head if he didn't have such a low number of starts all these years.

Glad you talked him out of sending him to Dubai. Definitely the right decision. Now, maybe he can win some more GIs in the states with proper timing and management.

just so your not more confused..andy was the one who recomended commentator running in the whitney.........

Good advice.

PG85,
After reading this whole thread, I have a quick question for you:
Who do you think would win between Commentator and Curlin going 1 1/8?

[Linny]

I'm afraid to read the response. You can't fix stupid.

I'm pretty sure pg would say curlin here, but i wouldn't be totally sure as he has not made his opinion known yet. I do beleive when he chimes in though, he will undoubtedly have speed figure to back up his fine assertation.
