I think the quality of competition category needs to be tweaked. I think CC is the best horse, but if he loses it will be more of the competition being fresher and more well rested than it is their actual quality.


I actually had the pleasure of meeting Victor this morning. I'll be the first to admit that I've never been his biggest fan, but I was blown away on what a nice guy he was. He seems relaxed and is just enjoying every moment on this whirlwind journey. I hope he gets it done.
