![]() I really like this horse, but even a tough-luck 3rd in a likely full-gate at the Bluegrass might not get him into the Kentucky Derby based on graded earnings. He's at about $102,000 now I believe. IMO Johnny V. got too cute on him at Tampa Saturday looking over his shoulder about nine times instead of just letting him go and making Street Sense play catch up. That probably cost him the W in that race and could conceivably lose him a spot in the big dance as well.

The horse still undoubtedly has to get over the hump, but I can't believe that right now he is just simply not good enough. NT |

So therefore, I'm going to relegate him to second tier. ...no, I don't think so. |

I think these premature observations are just that, premature. Somebody even said AGS had every chance to beat Street Sense. The latter got a significantly better trip. We're talking about this horse being a 2nd tier horse in March when you guys are talking in various threads about Notional, Liquidity, Belgravia, Nobiz and a host of others as first tier horses. That's a little off base in my opinion and again it's just my opinion. NT |

![]() Saying AGS is second tier because he barely lost twice to great horses makes no sense. . . He BARELY lost to Street Sense and probably ran a few extra lengths than him and he also barely lost to Tiz Wonderful who would be a top derby prospect if he was healthy. . . This horse loves the poly and I would not be suprised if he wins the Bluegrass. . . He'll also love the mile and a quarter in the derby if he gets in
