Count Chocula was scratched. Boo Berry was a late replacement.

If your statement was meant as an insult then I think you chose the wrong horse to compare him to.

yeah, doesn't that post kinda violate rule number one for when you want to slam a horse, by likening him to a much better horse who won the DWC.

I would think Baffert would be thrilled if he had another Captain Steve on his hands.

Absolutely...and then you have to love the comeback which usually goes something like, "Oh well the handicap division was terrible back then and that was like the worst running of the Dubai World Cup ever."

it was meant as a compliment, you guys are getting too harsh on me. Capt Steve and Bob and John have their limitations, but they are good horses. If properly placed they can win their share of Grade 1's and possibly a less than stellar renewal of the DWC
