As has been mentoned before, this horse has had many travels previous to this start, so at least give him that credit. Maybe all that travelling too too much out of him? Did you ever ask yourself that question......? doesn't look like it. Someone said he looked thin in the paddock, i guess you didn't see that, either. As i said, he has finished second to Mystical, so he is no claimer, no matter what today's race suggested. I guess you just look at one previous run when betting, do you? Fine tactic. It was one run, how can you say he is a claimer? You must be some expert to know that from seeing him race one time. Let me bow down and worship your wisdom Did i ever mention the word "superpower" in any part of my previous post? *looks back over it*.......... No, i didn't. But they are an up and coming country in this sport and any horses being shipped to run in any country around the world shouldn't just be dismissed just because of where he/she is trained, neither should they be overlooked after much travelling and one race in a foreign country.

I think everyone needs to lighten up.

Finishing second to Mystical also doesn't make him a claimer though. His form behind Mystical does make him an above average performer when you look at what that horse did in Dubai. Neither of us can be sure how good he may or may not be in America due to many different 'grey' areas, but on the form he has shown back in his native country you cannot call him a claimer after just one run where there are many factors seemingly against him. Do i wish to be a favourite here? It doesn't bother me, i speak my mind...... i'm not just going to agree with what everyone says if in my mind i don't agree. That would just become boring. The synthetic tracks. Well, from speaking to different "regulars" at some of the new polytrack locations in the States, i have a pretty good idea of how they are cared for, or not cared for as the case maybe. Apart from maybe CA, the climate has nothing to do with it. We have raced successfully on Poly when we reached our highest ever Temp over here (almost 100F) and there were no problems as far as i can remember. I know many of the groundstaff at both Wolverhampton and Lingfield (our two polytack surfaced tracks here) and i have a good idea of what they do to prepare the surface before and during each race meeting in different weather conditions, and from what i have been seeing on TV and hearing from people at the track, many of these tracks in America are failing to put the hard work needed into the track preparation. I quite think Martin Collins should carry most of the blame on his shoulders. I quite think he has approached these tracks and sold this surface as a "almost maintenance free" synthetic track...... which in reality is far from correct. I'm sorry that you have a "problem" with me, i suppose that is just something i will have to take on the chin.
