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.

Unbridled Song was a HUGE hype horse before running. I think he was scratched out of a Monmouth maiden race before showing up at Saratoga.

He was a $1 million buyback at the 2YO sale ( I feel like it was Barretts ) which at that time was HUGE.

all three of those horses won like something good as well, vindication broke slow from the rail, rushed up and was cut off, waited and slid around the horse who cut him off to draw away at will. unbridled's song probably won the easiest just crushing from the onset, and if i remember empire song was stuck outside and was wide while starting at a mile, never an easy thing to do.

It's amazing he was able to accomplish what he did.. considering how he was handled.. I remember after he won the Juvenile, Paragallo said without a doubt he was the next triple crown winner.

Here's his maiden race... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1q5iovTCxwE

Half Ours was the KD winner as per Cordero before he ever ran
