By far the best horse I've seen - looks even better this year - beat a race fir Excelebration by more than he did last year - what everyone really wants is for him to face off v Black Caviar or Cirrus Des Aigles to see just how unbelievable he is!!

I thought Mark Johnson summed it up nicely: "It really looked like a stallion taking on a little foal as they entered the final two furlongs"

That horse is unbelievable. He made a mockery of the Queen Anne.

He looks even better at age 4.

The gamble is running him in the Breeders Cup Classic -- he's bred terribly top and bottom for dirt and sensationally well for turf on top and bottom.

Obviously, they're not going to bring him here to run in the BC Mile.

I never tried to see if I could make figures for any of his races. Going to study them a little later when I get time. Visually, it sure looks like he's improved from age 3 to age 4 like virtually all healthy horses will.
