I hope they don't run Chrome in Dubai next year. Rather see him stateside racing.

I'm not going to knock Songbird's potential but at this point it's going to take a very significant improvement for her to give Chrome any trouble.

Do you think they run him at all next year?

Why wouldn't they? He will never command big dollars in the breeding shed and could earn ten million or more in a brief campaign.

I think he could stand for 20- 25k for the first 3 years with 100+ good mares. The biggest issue races his thru DWC17 is he will miss the 17 season. I would IF he stays as good because the pots for Peg and DWC are huge windfalls. But what do I know

Yes. I think they run him until he decides he doesn't want to compete.

Taylor Made would be silly to put him in the shed as his mere presence on the race course helps promote their business on a multitude of levels.

They've already bought their share in it, so yeah, I think that's the plan.

Huge run from Arrogate today. Would have taken a lot to beat him but after watching two of the classic winners run up the track, I can't believe that you guys really don't think Songbird could even hang with the ones that going into today were supposed to be the top of the division.

You changed your tune now to say that Songbird is just the best 3yo? Not the best horse?
