It's actually kind of sad.

It's a shame that shipping in for Royal Ascot wasn't in vogue when he was in his prime.

He was no Hyper.

At this point, shouldn't there be about 10 claims in for any Chad Brown-trained Ramsey horse debuting in a maiden claimer on the grass?

Didn't the horse that nearly knocked off his Euro import in the Manhattan start off that way?

Yep, Papaw Bodie was claimed for 50k last October from Paul McGee, who took over his training from Linda Rice, who claimed him for 25k in October 2010 at Belmont.

He has made roughly 350k since the claim. Might have been enough to cover the shipping for Hyper and Big Blue Kitten to Ascot.

Beautiful But Blue is from the immediate family of Ausable Chasm.

I'm always a few days behind watching replays, but I just got around to watching the Mother Goose. What an eyesore of a race that was.
