There's no choice to be made - JV is going to ride Mo. Mott should have chosen a new jock so THAS could get used to him. The one argument I saw against this is that since JV knows THAS, he could advise Mott after the FOY just how well (or not) the horse has progressed.

How fast did Rattlesnake Bridge work at the 2YO sale to fetch $450K with that pedigree?

Nothing in particular. I was surprised the horse sold for that much, but adding to what Freddy said, Young bought Trappe Shot (also by Tapit) at the same sale in 2009 for the same connections. The horse at the sale that really impressed me, both in workout and physically, was a $240K Lion Hearted named Amazing Hearted. He has not yet started but he's been working steadily on West Coast - my understanding was that Baffert was going to get him.

Data Link ridden with supreme confidence by Solis and pushes streak to three wins. Curious what Shug does next as the Palm Beach comes up a bit too soon.. just 15 days. Do they go synthetic to kill time? Spiral is on 3/26. Blue Grass is 4/16 (or Transylvania on 4/8). Expect American Turf on Oaks Day (5/6) is the spring grass goal. This is a nice horse.

It is not Gulfstream, but you all better hope Mr. Commons doesn't run well cause he has that pretty horsey bounce in his step.

That was a solid effort considering the trip vs. some very mediocre opponents. He's not a dirt horse - kind of surprised he ran in that spot.

He is a nice horse. I'm not familiar with the owners, but maybe it was their idea?

Betsy would have been proud of my ill fated Bernardini/Bernardini exacta. Nice first start from Bomber Boy. They had mentioned that Mike Welsch said that Fire With Fire was going to be short. Burns more money.
