I think he's made great strides in his posting skills, so I'm going to attribute this thread to fatigue or illness, and hope he resumes his course of improving English skills.

Mambo is the only Real Racehorse coming out of the Travers.
Very serious BCC Contender IMO.

I thought he was sired by Kingmambo, not Giant's Causeway.

What does that have to do with anything ? They are both great sire's, but at this point Giant's Causeway has a long long way to go before catching Kingmambo.

"Nobody knows the trouble I've seen..."

Not sure who, if anyone, said Mambo had trouble in the race... The 'problem' he had was Albarado's inability to find a better route of egress than the 9 path off the turn..

As I admitted on ATR last night, I am an unabashed fan of Neil Howard and his horses. We've become friends, and he is perhaps the most gracious guy I've met yet in the game... And Mr. Farish is unquestionably one of the last true gentlemen in the sport. Losing last year with Grasshopper to Jim Tafel and a better horse in Street Sense was one thing... Mambo in Seattle was likely the better horse Saturday and I expect that to prove out by this time next year. And while I respect Eion Harty, it's hard to believe that anyone would root for WinStar (Casner, Walden, et al..) over an outfit like the Farish-Howard camp.

I understand your position , because you are so close to the owners, trainers and form some close friendships. As for me i bet and cheer for the horse i like regardless of the connections. I'm sure if i had friendships with some connections it would be different, as far as the cry-baby comment i do this all the time when i lose. I just wanted to start a thread for discussion, imean nothing personal in any of my posts, just type what i feel at the time. I value your opinion and respect your enthusiam, and enjoy your show immensely. so once once again my posts are in the spirit of debate.

Did he get up for second because he went 9 wide or would he have not hit the board if he tried an inside trip? CJ even with his troubles won . Isnt that the way it is most of the time. A gutty winner and a game second, isnt the way we like it to be? Kinda like a horserace.

Not so sure about that. Colonel John may end up the male counterpart to Ginger Punch. His slowness aside, CJ has twice now shown shades of his sire's tenacity when looked in the eye by hard-charging rivals. He rebroke nearing the wire in the Sham when El Gato Malo tried to inhale him this winter at Santa Anita. Now he's fended off Mambo In Seattle after Gomez pulled him to the middle of the track to engage MIS in the final 1/16th of the Travers.

Mr. Harty's name is actually spelled "Eoin" by the way...
