![]() Not really, no.. Chuck was questioning the wider opportunities and potential for a Texas-bred juvenile. Not questioning pell mell the value, validity or integrity of Beyers.

Chuck could very well be right about Canigotoo and I hedged by saying he could win in a neighboring state, not in a G3 in Kentucky. |

Got loose on an uncontested lead without needing to be asked for much going 4.5f and 5f twice in the Texas Bred. Going 6f against a bunch of recent open debut winners - was all out and couldn't make the lead through vicious fractions in relation to final time - quits, like they often do. Happens all over. You'll see a precocious horse with no future at all get loose going short - and beat several future very classy stakes horses. Next time, they'll run into a bunch of other similar precocious horses - who also have no future - and also may have just pissed on eventual nice horses - and they'll get fried if they can't outrun the other speed or stalk and go. |

![]() A Giacomo out of a With Approval mare goes 21 1/5th and continues on wire-to-wire?
While I'll be Funny thing about Giacomo - his dam Set Them Free was a blazing fast need the lead speed sprinter - and it's not like Holy Bull was a plodder either. Not sure why, but Set Them Free - fast as all hell on the track - dropped one nice plodder after another as a broodmare. |
