Well I'm not saying he is Derby material but hes certainly a very nice horse.
His exercise rider is a board member on here and she is very talented and a class act. I'm sure when she gets around to posting that she will tell us what the story is.

Well,he is a very big horse that doesn't break well from the gate.It hurt him in his debut,and in this race as well.Surprised they haven't tried blinks yet,but maybe HONU(is that her name?)can shed some lite on whether they have explored that yet.The horse just outside of him came over on him at the start.I guess he got hurt there(somewhat)and mentally "out of it" after that.2 horses in that race that certainly don't have trouble breaking from the gate are Principle Secret,and especially Stormello(a really good horse out of the gate.)Spot the Diplomat did not break all the great(if he did,then I think Alex (on P.S.)would have chosen to lay off him (instead of leading the race.)

The 2-yo crop is hard to dissect right now, especially in California.
Prime Ruler, Principle Secret and Horse Greeley have all looked brilliant and mediocre in the span of a few months.
That's why I still think CQ is the goods. He's shown consistency and
push-button accelleration I haven't seen out of any other 2-year old.
I wonder if Gomez or Bejarano will get the ride on CQ on Nov. 4th?

I think both Principle Secret and Horse Greeley should get a pass on the last race, Principle Secret was pressed through hard fractions and was game in defeat going 2 turns for the first time. Horse Greeley had a nightmare trip, he ran up on heels, checked and bolted, he's just a baby. I think they are both nice horses and will be heard from again.

We have a monster out here called E.Z. Warrior.He just started working again yesterday.He had some sort of minor problem that took him out of training for a while.He simply teased Great Hunter back in early July.Multiple gears.That Zayad guy paid God knows how much for this horse,and Baffert trains.Baffert didn't really want to run him that day(because he drew the 1 hole.)He and the owner agreed to find out exactly how good he was(by seeing if he could win despite the 1 hole.)Horse had to wait behind traffic,and then made a huge push button move through traffic.Great Hunter came up to his outside(with a big wide move,)and E.Z. Warrior toyed with him before easily drawing off.Maybe we will see him in the HWD Futurity.Same owner as Point Ashley.The guy has some major jak.

Should I remind you of the grade one winners you declared would never win one? You are a mush in reverse on these things, and this horse just received a huge push with your statement. Never in my life have i seen anyone declare so many horses as bums who went on to win Grade ones, you have no peers in that category. Your opinion on these matters is just horrendous.

Well you will be happy to know that Listen Indy has a great home now, a girl that used to work for Mike Stidahm has him now , she claimed him for 5000.00 at Lone Star, she is making a jumper and eventing horse out of him and says he is doing really well . I hope that helps you with your soreness.
