The Holy Bull, Danger to Society has a win at Gulfstream last out at this mile and an eighth distance. I think he'll be forwardly placed into a slow pace, Beethoven will have alot to do from that post, Borel will go inside again, but this field is pretty big to work through with Danger to Society floating along up front
El Crespo intrigues me in the Holy Bull. 2 back he was under a long drive, never really kicked in, the turf was soft that day, and he ran a decent second. He comes back on turf again, This time he's stacked up wide the whole trip, but to me it seemed like Javier thought he was sitting on much the best, He just kept him in the clear and really cruised home. I think the break helped this horse ton's. Also that day he was never more then 2 lenghts off of a decent pace. He seems tactical, but clearly he will have to handle dirt, if he does I beleive he is a winner in here.

The odds of the most talked about first timer show the power of hype... currently 4-5 with 9 MTP. I hope for the sake of racing he wins like a good thing, but I saw it posted elsewhere, the first full bro/sis angle doesn't pan out too often.

I don't know what you're talking about. Aristocrat was a monster.

I'm hoping he gets drowned for the simple fact that message boards will become nauseating if he wins. It will be completely unbearable.
