Does this taint the Travers?

However, Bluegrass Cat, while certainly being a nice horse, hardly fits the category of special horse. I guess he's the second best 3YO in a race as long as Dr. Pleasure is third best.

The BS parade just rambles on.

OH come on Blackthroat you have been around too long to pretend you don't know what thats about. Whenever a horse is off to stud career the trainer has to give an obligatory "he was great or he was special or he had talent" comment to the media.
You wanna laugh just pick up the Bloodhorse during breeding season and read the ads for the new sires and the quotes in there from trainers. Its always worth a huge laugh.
