Hey ... Left Coast posters ... what's happening with this race? Any good prospects?

There's a lot of buzz about Prime Ruler but I'll take Horse Greeley, thank you very much.

Prime Ruler's debut was among the most impressive debuts this year by any two year old.
Basically he did every single thing wrong that anyone could think of and still won nicely and with a good figure.
After being wiped out and steadied at the gate, he launched a wide rally and then was very green in the lane. He still won 2 going away, and got a huge fig.
Hes the best horse I've seen on the West Coast this year by far. A grade one type animal. He should only improve and has been given the proper 31 days rest since that last start to avoid the bounce. Worktab is just what you wanna see as well. A maintenance move at a 1/2 mile, another maintenance move at 5f, and then a zippier 1/2 mile move 6 days ago to put him on edge for this one.
Pay good attention today boys and girls, the West Coast's chief challenger to divisional leader Circular Quay runs today, and his name is Prime Ruler.

What do you guys think about Principal Secret?

I don't understand why people think we should talk about a race like the Del Mar Futurity.I agree it's P.R.,or H.G.,and I would not single either one.Some of these races are not difficult enough to warrant writing about.

Scuds I appreciate really good horses and if Prime was trained by a big name trainer his debut would be widely known and written about.
Because Paasch trains him, he has flown to some extent under the radar.
His debut was absolutely awesome, and I expect everyone to know who he is after the race today. Hes the goods.

Yea,it appeared to be a special horse.I just am not sure that H Greely is not also very good.In that 1st race(With Victor)this horse had a slow start,and was way wide the whole turn.Still came better than most horses would.Then he got tired,but still tried(and got 2nd to P Secret.)

Paasch is a good trainer, an even better story.. and, as Oracle said, this horse really is the goods.. not sure if he's as good as Pletcher's duo, or even TizWonderful.. but he should handle these pretty easily.

OK ... now I know some things I didn't know before ...

... thanks.

I can't single Prime Ruler.He was forced to take up,and was left a long way back off a pace that appeared to be too fast (or the track wasn't friendly to the front.)So,I do not know his preferred style yet.I would guess he will rate about 3-5 lengths off.I would guess he will come flying again,but not putting all the eggs there.

Scuds he didnt break bad, he was wiped out. Big difference there.
WIth that speed he displayed once on track, don't expect him to be so far off today. Quite frankly if he displays the talent he displayed in his debut, and has matured even a tad in the past month physically and mentally, he should put on quite a nice show today.

Horrible betting race like Scuds eluded to. Like 2, maybe 3 possible contenders. One will be 4/5 the other 2 will be 3/1. Just a watch race. I hate 2 year old racing, I really do. Prime Ruler is no secret, everybody knows about him as his price will indicate.
