Sure seems to be flying under the radar. What am I missing?

Nope, it's only every 3 years. LOL ...

Barbaro in 2006 and Mine That Bird in 2009. So ... let's talk in 2012. Haha!

There was an article earlier this week in the London Evening Standard on Awesome Act:

I like this quote from Noseda particularly:

"It is a shame the favourite is out because it detracts from the spectacle but my worry is the trip," said Noseda. "I wish the distance could be reduced because he didn't look like he got home [over 1m 1f] in the Wood Memorial, although maybe I'm reading too much into his defeat. "

Jeez. Can't like the trainer questioning the distance...toss

There sure seems to be a fascination with this horse. I don't see it but to each his own.
