What makes you think he will win a lot of west coast Grade I next year. Unless I missed something, Lava Man is going to b racing again. So far, you have to assume Lava Man is going to be better than Derek.

Why wouldn't it be Invasor if he stays in training?

well Lava Man can't reign forever
plus BD was better in the Classic than LM
foretelling of things to come
Invasor, well, I don't know their plans
I kinda thought he'd be retired

Funny Cide gets sent to Dutrow and wins the BCC
Strong Contender goes off as the favorite
but Brother Derek wins the HOY due winning the most G1's
Tiz Wonderful wins the Derby and Preakness, and loses the Belmont
to Dreaming of Anna and then is retired
Perfect Drift wins the Foster!

Well everyone knows that Lava Man cant win anywhere other than Cali. Plus they have that cushion track out there now and Lava Man runs good on turf and dirt so I would assume that he will be good on cushion as well. But Lava Man has beated Derek rather easily this year out in Cali.

i am going to go out on a limb and say that it will be some 2yo (3yo next year) that none of us have even heard of yet.

Exactly. I think Invasor will rule the east.

if BroDerek cant run on poly, he can not win on the west coast for the most part.

thats the new thing for west coast runners.
you have to have a polytrack runner or you might as well head to the midwest or east coast.

and to be honest,
BroDerek is just not that fast.

2007 HOY is an intersesting thing to talk about, but impossible to predict.
does anyone know for sure what they are doing with Invasor?
DCat will not run enough.
neither will Commentator.
it will most likely be a failed turf horse from Europe.
some AP Indy or Storm Cat that had no business ever being on the turf that was sent there to waste his talent for a few years.

btw on BroDerek,
am I the only one sick of this whole camp?
they b*tch about everything from post position draw proccess to invisible claims of foul.
its just tiring.

their horse is slower than it's competitors.
just deal with it.

they always have an excuse, and its never a good one.
