If that track was a speed favoring track, then I am even more impressed with Gorella's run.
 I am soooo on this horse's bandwagon that it is annoying isn't it?

This post just reminds me the kinda short-term memory racing fans have...whoever is the last horse they saw win a stakes is their lock to win a BC race. Bordonaro, Friendly Island, Carthage, LITF, Kelly's Landing, Gaff, a bunch of fast 3-year-old sprinters, and now all of a sudden, Anew is the best sprinter in the country off of one stakes victory.

Also LITF and Kellys Landing are not three year old sprinters.

I agree. Class is overrated as a factor basically because my defnition of class and a lot of other people's definition varies. Horses change in apearance, ability and form based on variables like who is training them, blinkers on or off, being gelded, being tried on different surfaces, etc. I'm sorry but I simply don't care about Anew's history. All I know and see is a horse who is very fast and jusy smoked som every nice sprinters who were left gasping and in awe at his talent. hes not a cheap speed horse either. In his prior race he outgamed a very game Tiger and still own in a dogfight and he has won while rating near the lead and finishing well. Whats class? Is class that some moron pays a million dollars for a yearling? Does that make the horse classy? Is Lava man not just oozing with class and courage? he was claimed for 50 grand and quite frankly thats ancient history. What matters is a horses current form and ability. Ryan Leaf was a number two overall pick, Tim Couch a number one overall. Joe Montana I believe was a 6th rounder(somewhere in that area). yet on the field he was the guy with the class. Compare that with a situation where some numbskull declares a well bred or expensive horse to have more class than the reformed fifty claimer. Its simply nonsense.

It's curious to me how many horse's from Anew's barn have been running exceptionally well lately. There must be like an anti-virus in the barn.

Is " fresher " a euphemism?

Do you know why they gelded him Oracle? I watched the races at 2am on Saturday when I got home from Orlando. I don't remember if they said why they gelded him. Was it a health problem or was he "filly-minded"?

I listed a bunch of fast older sprinters, then said, in addition to that, "a bunch of fast 3-year-old sprinters."

breyer makes speed figures too? I love the ice cream. My favorite is the neapolitan with the combination of chocolate/vanilla/strawberry. I usually eat the strawberry first and kind of let the chocolate and vanilla soften up and melt together.

[quote=ateamstupid]Buffy, the dirt was speed-favoring, not the turf...
I was being sarcastic. Sorry should have put more smilies in there.

Fact is if you liked this horse before Saturday's race,then you got paid.Don't think you get paid much ever again for playing him.I now leave him for the chalk addicts,and move on.
