He has as much raw talent as any 3yr old, which isn't saying much. There are some older horses going that appear to have significantly more talent. If this was a 12f race and he had prepped in the JCGC then maybe.

I really don't know anything about Casino Drive.

He sure looked good in the Peter Pan.

WTF is up with 2 races lifetime?

Does he even like synthetic?

Does he have enough early foot at a mile & sixteenth?

Honestly I hope he looks great Sunday, but I would consider a play against in the multi-race.

I obviously don't think CD has much of a chance in the Classic, but I guess I don't understand why people have to treat him like he's a pig.

He did run a good race in the Peter Pan, overcoming several obstacles to win it.........At the time, most people thought he could develop into a very nice horse. Is this colt getting worse with time or people just don't like him because he got some attention?

i guess most would rather a horse earn his constant attention, both from bettors and the media, than just garner slavering praise because of who his mama happens to be. two starts, why should the horse even be a subject of discussion regarding the bcc? questioning the thought process of his handlers doesn't equate to him being treated as being a pig.

I agree - I don't have a problem with questioning his handlers. I think the constant shipping between Japan and the US is ridiculous. If they think this horse is good, IMO, they should leave him here, let him develop and point for next year's Classic.

I'm not saying that people should slobber over CD - just that now I think the trend is going the other way, that he's now apparently completely untalented.

He's good enough to compete in this years Classic already. Whether he's good enough to win is a different story. The "point to next year's Classic" logic is boring! He's better than Smooth Air.
