This article makes this horse an absolute bet against....I mean who writes a daily feature article about a two year old that has never started...talk about the mush. My guess is Free probably like someone else in the race.

Yeah, Brad would really do that.

There was an awful lot written about Empire Maker before he ever ran.

I'm not comparing him to Empire Maker, and you know I would bet against this kind of hype in a heartbeat, I was just giving an example of an unraced horse that got a ton of hype before he ever started. Of course, you could also cite the Green Monkey, but that's kind of a different story.

the thing with the green monkey is no one ever, to my memory, every hyped him as being good.

probably the two horses i remember recently as super hyped horses well before they started were the aforementioned empire maker and vindication.
