Who's your cat in the fight? If someone wants to give me a reason why the American horses will crush the Euro then please do so. If not then let's just discuss what the best timing mechanism is.

If this was Mastercraftsman and Rip Van Winkle, that would be different. These Euros aren't indicative of the top talent from over there.

So you are saying that the Euros coming over that Sea the Stars has beat are a bunch of claimers that will be exposed as such when Sea the Stars is beat?

Mine that Bird is a cool horse who always tries hard. what more could you want from a small little gelding. I would think many would be rooting for him because he is the kind of horse that could be around for years and years if he stays healthy. His small town connections add more reason to root for him.

Go MTB!
