Bob,

His work is less count out than you may think... Talked about him a fair amount on the air yesterday. Lots to like as by far the top alternative to the underlaid 'buzz' suspects beneath Old Fashioned like Wise Kid and Hamazing Destiny. 12-1 ML to start and hope it drifts well north of that.

These guys have been talking about this horse since May of LY, but then again, all connections do so I rarely bring it up. But since you actually mentioned him on the show yesterday, it seems fair. The trip he got with Solis in his second start was terrible and then he had some physical stuff happen. They were very patient, to their credit, and am hoping for a nice price.

yea i'm looking at the exacta probables and seeing how much His Greatness or Pointing Home pay underneath Old Fashioned. I think they could pass Silver City.

Bob, I'll never forget walking in on Million Day prior to the 1st race and receiving a TIP on him . He was 20-1 ML and went off at less than 3-1.

I remember he was 6/5 early on when we saw you at Arlington off that 20-1 ML!

Old Fashioned chased too fast a pace, got tired in the stretch and lost to a horse who broke its maiden at Canterbury! Paid $115!
