3) A horse that is unrivaled in talent
4) The next Curlin
5) The easiest winner of the FOY, because those horses have no hope

All this despite the fact that most of the better horses from last year have yet to make an appearance. Does every talented horse bring out a reaction like this?

I'm sure Pletcher will push this horse to make the Derby, no doubt
The hype is incredible...Look up the pedigree of Poof too.. Apparently the family does well with Distorted Humor.. Nice cull by Phipps?

Did anyone see Cal Nation's gallop out? He was slowing down very quickly. Jack London (the horse he put away easily at the top of the stretch) went by him like he was standing still when they got to the turn.

DH is a very good sire anyway, but AP Indy mares should never be bred to anyone but him - that cross is ridiculously good.
