Candy Ride (obvious talent / very fast)

Curlin (Demonstrated great ability right off the bat with multiple terrific performances in an incredibly short period of time from his debut to the Preakness....unbelievable)

Ghostzapper (obvious talent / very fast)

Discreet Cat (obvious talent / very fast)

Empire Maker (This horse always had the reputation of being a bit of a goof. He never seemed to really put it all together mentally, and had some injury problems, etc. He won three G1s and never finished out of the exacta on talent alone)

I dont know about Discreet Cat, what was he? A true true miler? If thats the case then I guess so. I think Midnight Lute was a better sprinter and Bernardini would have killed him going 9f.

Given his performance in the Cigar Mile, I'd say yeah.

That was a WOW type effort... A lot like the Borrego video I posted the other day.

What's the view on Lost in the Fog? He did do a 1:07 and change 6f. He's also a King's Bishop winner. RIP to him and Harry "Battle of the G** D*** Bulge" Aleo. One of the funniest moments of live sports tv interviews I've seen. I bet more than one producer passed out. I think Quint was the interviewer, and he went pretty pale. In fairness, it was a pretty stupid question.
