Some of us like to pick out good talented two year olds, and see how they fair there three year old season. It is a game. I like picking out the best horses before they actually become the best horses. By the way, the Sanford Stakes is next month.

A horse named Afleet Alex won the Sanford a few years ago, and look how he turned out.

Alex also broke his maiden in June. But don't go using historical facts and data here, people get very offended by these things.

I hate these races they run at Churchill for the baby's because the outside horses have a huge bias against them. How many of these horses running these sprints go on for bigger and better things? I've heard that the classic trainer say it takes months to get the go,go,go out of them atfer the sales to get too settle down. I'd like to train my horses on long,uphill jogs that get longer and longer on the grass. I think that's what would build stamia in them. But what do I know?
