it just looked to me like he didn't belong and wasn't ready for the Santa Anita derby.

Guillot new to the higher level of racing, he is good, and with Southern Equine Stables, he will be getting some good stock, so might be someone to watch in the next couple of years with his firsters

yeah I know that, I just think they got a little ahead of themselves with this one.

Just like the unbelievable trainer Michael Pender with Polonius, can't fault in trying, but it takes trainers time too to adjust to the big dance.

Pender is a Los Al trainer for christ sake, and if I am not mistaken, he barely wins there. Polonius is going to be a good turf horse, hopefully they realize this and just get him back on the turf.

Southern Equine is owned by a guy from down this way in Lafayette,Louisiana. He has serious money and loves racing. And they are buying some very quality stock, so I wouldnt be surprised to see them in some big races for the next several years. As far as Sig. Move, he bled in the Risen Star, but I had not seen where they say he bled in the S.A. Derby also. I really liked the horse and hope he steps it up later in the year. They are really good connections and it would be great to see them with some really nice horses.

The guy is loooooaded. His company builds refineries and offshore drilling platforms.
