Those four or five must be yet to make their debut because I sure haven't seen them run yet. We'll see.

Really? You haven't heard of...

Royal Delta
It's Tricky
Include Me Out
Grace Hall
Questing

That's assuming Awesome Feather is not a racehorse anymore and that Potesta will make no progress.

I understand that Amani has upside, but you seem to have seen something in yesterday's Clement Hirsch that I'd love for you to explain a bit.

The champion 2yo from last year might turn out to be a pretty decent horse too. I think she returns to the races in a few days at the Spa.

A precocious 2 year old that is just making it back to the races in August of her 3 year old year for Asmussen. What's the over/under on races she has left in her career...2 or 3?

Good points, which I overlooked.

Just sayin though!

Royal Delta is head and shoulders the best female dirt horse in the world.

As much as I like this Chile filly, it's very premature to think she can beat Royal Delta in a fairly run race.

If Jeff Mullins had the Chile filly, maybe you could jump the gun.

What did you think about Royal Delta today? I mentioned that Royal Delta's last didn't impress me and I think she's continuing to go the other way.

I hope she comes back better than ever....because she's good.

I'm just skeptical and I'm sure you can appreciate that.

Royal Delta did not impress me at all last out. Grace Hall? It's Tricky? Certainly more accomplished here in the U.S. but I haven't seen anything from them to make me look at them as unbeatable Questing is an interesting one as she's not seemed to show her ceiling while the others have, IMO. From what I saw yesterday, Include Me Out doesn't beat her going longer, especially with Amani having gotten one under her belt. We'll see.

I was more impressed in her last race than the open workout she had at CD.
