from what I understand the horse does not have the best action in the world....well see if they can keep him healthy.

Ugh, there's always something. The images on the Calracing.com video replay were just blurry enough that I had my fingers crossed that he just had a lot of chrome. Oh well. I've seen horses run like a duck waddles and still win races so you never know. If they can get almost a full year out of Big Brown and those wretched feet, surely Point Encounter's trainer can keep him together.

was he ever in a sale and was a buy back or do they breed to race? Walsh seemed suprised with a PG colt with so much early speed.

Is there a cut off point before they don't have time to ship a horse to Dubai?

Funny. I was in Vegas from Christmas day until New Years Day. Was at Wynn on Sunday making a few future wagers, and saw him at 12-1 for the Derby!
I had never heard of him before (was out of the loop for a week or so), and couldn't believe he was only 12-1. Lowest odds of any horse on the sheet, including old fashioned, vineyard haven, etc...
Ridiculous.

injured, off the derby trail-if he was ever on it...
