Rampillion went in 39.40. Maybe we can have a match race?

Please... No Nicanor threads here. Have to draw the line somewhere...

About not racing as a 2yo, I imagine they had thought it possible he would based on his work pattern last summer and their talk but he started growing like a weed and Matz decided to back off and let him settle physically. An article I read later puts him at nearly 17 hands.

Not sure about the other horses in the race, I haven't looked.

Of the 13 entered 8 have had previous starts, with Dubinsky ( Pompa/Reynolds ) and Stayonit ( AE Frankel/Bello ) the 2 that have had a decent prior race.

The "this horse is bred for" game is wonderful. Barbaro started his career on the grass and many people thought that might have been his best surface. So they start his full brother off on the dirt. Minutes later on the opposite coast, a daugther of two dirt champions (AP Indy and Sweet Catomine) starts off her career on grass.

Point taken.
