Found out the father on his birth certificate? LOL........ I thought he would win that race, but he did nothing. 2 post didn't help. Should of run better. Probably wants one turn (like pops preferred.) O'neill said he was maybe gunna be better than Stevie Wonderboy. Maybe Stevie going 1 turn.

O'Neill remains high on Azul Leon, winner of the Hollywood Juvenile and Best Pal Stakes - the latter via disqualification - and plans to run both in the Breeders' Cup.

Juve is a tough race. T BAZE adores Midshipman. Street HERO is a bit dopey, but talented(has one of the prime synthetic sires, too.) To answer your question, I haven't heard an excuse yet(just read he still likes the horse's chances.)

AZUL LEON and SILENT VALOR (both by Lion Heart)........With a winning average distance of his offspring at 5.5 furlongs and just one winner from nearly 20 starters at a mile or farther, it is looking as if Lion Heart's offspring have distance limitations. Because he is a nice horse, and Oneil compared him to Stevie Wonderboy, I can't rule Azul Leon out, but he has a lot to prove(as far as going 2 turns.)

Has anyone noticed how ordinary Pletcher's stats have been this year? There have also been alot of "previously trained by Todd Pletcher" lines I have been noticing in the form of late. I think it's very odd, the guy is obviously bright and couldn't do no wrong just until very recently.
