Bluegrass Cat

-3 Thoro, easy. 20 days back. Tough to do.

Yes he did look terrific. I was going to bet Strong Contender but I was down so much I needed more than 2/1 to get out.

I liked Strong Contender a little also. But just like you, that was too chalky to take.

more impressed with BC's Haskell
than Bernardini's Dandy
where is Jazil pointed?
Sweetnorthernsaint?
Bluegrass Cat can/will defeat Bernie in Traver's!
I see Hurley's still living off songandaprayer

Ya Randall, but stupid me keys Running Dog and Artie in picks and doubles. If it wasnt for Neil Howards 1st time turfer, that might have been my last day for a while. Worked out okay but Kazoo losing in that gutty effort really hurt. I put quite a bit on him today.

Jazil's hurt- should resume training in September I think

haven't heard anything about SNS. . .with his pedigree I wouldn't be suprised if they needed to lay him off for a long while to recooperate. . . if he wasn't gelded I doubt he'd race much more

Lemme tell you what!!! That race was a stunner. His sheet number will be incredible. Lets get it on!!! bernadini fans must have watched and said oh wait, there may be a challenger yet!!!
he was insanely good and I can't even imagine his fig. By the way, Depuy Glitters was beaten a football field!!!!

I took one look at him in the post parade and thought he was toast.

Mike, I was really impressed with the Cat today- he's always been kind of one paced, but not today. The race was over as soon as he made his move.

I'm really looking forward to the Travers this year. I have all the confidence in the world in Bernardini because I think he could be a great one, but if I am wrong, I will come here and take my lumps. It's only fair after all the yapping I've done about him!

Gotta be careful when the one-turn hot-shots go two turns. Some make the transition okay, but going against a proven class two-turn horse like Bluegrass Cat, you'd want better odds to back him.
