And I just went to the IEAh website and they have anounced on the site that they bought an interest in Wild Desert. He ran a very good 2nd in the Meadowlands Cup the other night, and looks like the type who if well spotted can earn a lotta dough. Hes also won close to a million bucks and is by a sire who was really starting to take off before dying an early death. Millionaires who are graded winners can usually find someplace to stand at stud.
I like going to their website a lot because of the stretch replay of a race that greets you when you log in.

Thanks Mike. It is good they scratched him out of that Belmont race and put him in a real nice spot! It looks like their strategy paid off!

Finding the right spot is what its all about in this game. Ricky plays that game as well as anyone alive.

Pletcher does it just a little better. No knock on Dutrow but putting the horse in his previous race against Brilliant was moronic. You don't run speed horses in a swamp.

Kip was smart to avoid Showing Up. Showing Up put up another 107 beyer. Kip put up a nice 97.

That swamp was unavoidable and noone knew when pointing to that race that conditions were going to be that bad.
Brilliant was dreadful on Saturday with a no excuse perfect trip.
And as Dutrow was smart to avoid Showing Up, so was Tagg smart to avoid the big boys again in the BC this year.

I lost money on Kip that day.

George Washington, the poster, says the Jacksons plan on speaking to Tagg about the Breeders Cup mile now that George Washington, the horse, is confirmed for the Breeders Cup Classic.

I would consider it as well if I were them. The Mile can always be won by any good horse. Its a race where the trip is the key to the whole thing, you get 12-14 horses trying to go around two turns in tight quarters and you are always going to need tremendous luck in order to win.
I guess they have to consider whether or not they wanna go there and skip the Hollywood derby, or just go to Hollywood where they would be heavily favored in a big purse. As sharp as Showing Up is right now, I really would think running him in the mile would be a good idea.

They can run in both the Hollywood Derby and the Breeders Cup. They are 3 weeks apart.
