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?

Yes, he's Drysdale. That probably handicaps his HOY chances even more. Nothing against Drysdale's training abilities as I have a ton of respect for him but he's so conservative that I shouldn't expect to see the horse run more than five times even if healthy.

He's a terrific trainer but he's just ridiculous. Michael Dickinson with a TC win.

7 is my lucky number and I always use the number 27 or 37 when showing horses. 2007 has a 2 and a 7 in it. UMMM..

You gotta love horse racing people with their superstitions. LOL. Although, I don't fancy myself to be a very superstitious person. Knock on wood.
