That would cost them the breeding season so why not bring him back and go for the Classic at that point?

In likely order;
1. Discreet Cat
2. Your Tent or Mine
3. Invasor
4. Lava Man
5. Street Sense

Such disrepect for the 2006 HOY.....Your Tent or Mine. How could you even entertain the possibility that a fraud like Discreet Cat could defeat such a proven monster?

I don't think that Your Tent or Mine is a proven monster at all. Neither do I think Discreet Cat is a fraud. I don't have a good feeling about seeing Invasor run all year. And I don't think he's better than Discreet Cat anyway so if they face each other, I expect him to lose and that the loses would drop him down in the rankings. Meanwhile, if Your Tent or Mine can come back next year and be anywhere close to what I thought I saw from him, he could run up an impressive record running out here in California and put himself into a good position to be HOY. Sort of the same thing that Rock Hard Ten did two years ago and Lava Man did this year. I'm not saying that YTOM is better than Invasor.

First of all...I am obviously joking. But secondly...when was the " great " Your Tent or Mine's last race?

You can't seriously believe he is going to reemerge after a year and be a factor next year?

Then again....I am still hoping Dynever comes back in 2008 to vindicate himself. Love his chances in the Temple Gwathany.

Yeah, I know u were only having fun with me. I had to expect that after listing YTOM over Invasor. In the minds of 99.9% of the people, that's crazy. He last ran in December of 2005. He's run a total of three times, missing the entire 2006 season. He did run very well in all of his starts though. He broke his maiden then won the Hollywood Prevue in his second start, beating the good sprinter Da Stoops at 7f. Then he ran right with Brother Derek before losing the Hollywood Futurity at 8.5f in his third start. Do I seriously believe he's going to come back at the same level? No. It's very unlikely. But I can hope right? And what I will say is that if he somehow can, I think he could be right there among the West Coast horses, especially since O'Neill is talking about a campaign for Lava Man that will focus on grass racing. The California older horse division just doesn't seem like it has any quality so it wouldn't take much for YTOM to be near the top if he comes back and is anywhere near his old level.

Nothing wrong with hoping. I really don't know much about him but a couple of sharp friends of mine were very high on him going into this season. Drysdale...right?
