Do I think he can win?

Yes. Either race. I'd go for the Classic.

That aside he IS the star that the sport so desperately needs so it's only a question of will he be marketed as such or will this be just another missed opportunity?

I've always wanted to mention on here but never had how during the Olympics it kind of made me sick that there were no BC ads. That would have been perfect but no.

I don't mean market him in a using him sense, I just mean so much could be done here where he'd end up being a Smarty or Funny Cide sans Derby win easily.

From that to Horse of the Year.

He is marketing gold. The powers that be need to change anything and everything they've done and start by getting rid of whoever came up with the God awful best is yet to come campaign and start over now that they have their leading man. The whole gelding thing is very catchy and once people who don't know anything about racing understand the point of view you stated about breeding it could endear him even more to the masses.

There is an AA meeting in Santa Monica right by the fish market, its time to dedicate sometime to cleaning up.

Read your post again its beyond a wrong opinion it is down right scary. You want a marketing campaign on wise dan? As for commercials during the Olympics.. NBC needed to earn not give away space for horseys that have virtually zero ratings save 45 minutes before the start of a derby or 45 minute before the start of the Belmont if a horse is going for the TC.

This horse would be 15 to 1 in the ckassic depending on which euro's show up who is going to beat him at a mile Get Serious and I mean Get Serious.
