I think Frolic's Dream will run well debuting on turf for Tagg. The last two - first two for Tagg - don't look good but can be tossed. The mile G2 Davona Dale was beyond her reach in terms of distance and then she clearly loathed the mud at BEL on 5/2. Like seeing Dominguez taking ride.

Cue the Wolfson juice comments. . .

The post you are quoting is just too dumb to even bother with.

Her first race with Tagg was too far? She was done early going many seconds slower than she ever had.

Does Wolfson juice though? How do you know?

Lets just say...I dont think the Jackson's will be flying into Calder for a private purchase, the next time Wolfson gets a dog biscuit to run huge.

I'm surprised to see a horse like Affirmatif running in the Hill Prince when he'd likely be favored in a G2, and for a lot more money, in two weeks.

I thought Pletcher would throw him in the deep end after his smashing debut at GP. I saw at Kee why he has decided to handle this one with kid gloves and bring him along slowly. After my best mush job of all time calling him the best 3yo colt in the land, he cost me a 2k DD and p4 hit. He is a very immature (head case) 3yo. Probaly would benefit greatly from being gelded but, has too much Pedigree and talent to be cut. His Dam side is very strong.

Bottom line: I think he is the most talented horse in the field....But a big bet against at short odds.
His last race wasnt all that impressive while beating absolutely nothing.
The only horse to beat Aff so far is Golden Mexico, who was sent off as the Fav in a Stakie at Arl against Giant Oak. After setting slow fractions on a lonely lead he folded like a soup sandwich in the lane.

I'm not sure how good this horse is; and he might not be much.

But, I believe, that basing an opinion on the KEE race is the wrong way to go.
He got all the worst of it in terms of setup and ground covered (running 39ft or 4.5 lengths more than than the winner) in that race and certainly ran better than Golden Mexico. The only lesson coming out of that one was that GW was a tossin the AP race.

Mani Bhavan is not running. There was an article on DRF that Klesaris is only running the horse who just won at Delaware, Malibu Beach and the others are scratching.

I'm not saying that I like the horse, but a better and more lucrative spot for him would be the Colonial Turf Cup where the other nominees are not too much better or worse.

I like Rendezvous to run well in that race.

They did the same thing in his last start. Passing on a $100k G3 to run in a $50k listed stake two weeks later. They're not being very ambitious with their spotting.

That being said, the Hill Prince looks like a great race.
