LOL! Kev still claims hes the biggest Surf Cat fan on here. How soon he forgets who knew and loved Surf Cat since his very first start!

Oh no Timmy...I know you claim Surf Cat. I read about him before you told me about him, but the day he won last year when you and I talked, that was the first time I had spoken to anyone about him.

Can I claim Proud Tower Too, since I was the one that said single him at 22-1 in his stakes bedut??

We can share Surf Cat, but Proud Tower Too is all you buddy. We both should have had win money the day after Christmas. I dont want to think about him. That day was all speed. Uggggh.

You own rights to English Channel. Heck of a horse.

I have Butterface (LOL, who else wants her!).

Anxious to see how EVER A FRIEND stacks up today. I don't if he has the early speed to go with the great AHS, but with a well timed run, Bejerano may be able to work some magic with him.

I think he has a wonderful shot today Kevin as does Mott's charge Titled. Those are the 2 I would use.

He is running from Arlington because there is only room for one star on that day, and unlike EC, Showing Up won't choke in the Secretariat and lose to a nobody like Gun Salute. I would keep EC at Saratoga too because he is going to need to be 100% ready to go in the Turf Classic because the horse the bloodhorse called the "new star of american turf racing" loves the Belmont turf.

You need counseling Bold Ruler. Horses don't choke. They don't understand that its a pressure filled situatiuon or what not or how much money is on the line. He simply didn't like that course or shipping that day, etc. Whatever it was that was last year. Hes obviously developed into something more. And before you go and get all excited about Showing Up, you might wanna take a look at what Euro's will be in the race.

I think I own the rights to Shaconage, but she's retired and wasn't really all that good anyway. Think I'll need to find a new horse to which to hitch my wagon.

And "runnning" isn't exactly how I would put it. His trainer just happens to be the best trainer alive and he spots his horses with perfection and always a plan.
