Who wants to go first?

Crowded House
The Pamplemousse
Donativium

At some point, check the replay for the Racing Post Trophy (Crowded House). (Nice run in the Tatts Million too where he was 2nd to Donativium).

You tell me...

I think you missed the most important point......



......he just gave definitive proof that he can't count to five.







The fact that he's unable to shut up had already been firmly established.

Of course he can count to five, after all, he once went nine for nine at some OTB in NY.

He just gets carried away with his enthusiasm.

I don't know yet.
Old Fashioned looks like a good shot to hit the board at this point.

No, nor me, KG...... I think she is getting too excited about this Crowded House. He'd need to be starting soon to have any chance of hitting the board.

Fountain of Youth where one contributor to this board has already pronounced he will "get drowned."

He's probably right.

Can I book your futures action? Please? Except on Friesan Fire. Stardom Bound's trainer doesn't want her to run in the SA Derby, do you think he'll want the KY Derby? Or will Dutrow have her by then?
Haynesfield's chance of getting 10f without a horse van are slim, esp. in G1 company.
