oh, and just saw that bellamy road is going to hurricane hall, a new operation in ky, and will stand for 10k. best of luck to him. afraid he's going to need it. but then, they all do.

Yes, in an unrestricted Pacific Classic and that MDO was a multiple graded stake winner at 3 and 4 that got made to look rather ordinary. Thats a whole lot different than beating scrappy t wouldnt you say?

yeah, a bit different. of course scrappy finished second that year in the preakness too.....

and volponi beat mdo....so did sarava. he was rather ordinary IMO.

I dont think MDO was "great" by any means but he was certainly a more accomplished horse than...Bellamy Road. And although he did lose to sarava and volponi he managed to win a few nice races along the way including the Donn and the travers.

MDO was a good horse and a monster at 9F.

yeah, true...just wish bellamy had been handled more ably. hate to see any horse not be able to show his stuff due to ineptitude. and we're supposed to be the intelligent species...
