That horse is a beast. I really hope he runs in the BC Classic. I think he'll win for fun.

That would be the dream - If he went there and won, Id probably break down in tears.... I still hold out hopes that we get a Sea The Stars, Zenyatta, Rachel Alexandra match up in the classic.

It was such a delight and privilege to be at the track to witness what I saw today. He was magnificent. Ive never seen a flat horse get a reception like he did in the winner's enclosure. He is such a good looking horse..

A good review and analysis of the race can be found here. http://www.rte.ie/sport/racing/2009/...stakes_av.html
That is what was broadcast on terrestrial TV over here in Ireland

Really impressive right there.

I'm gonna have to give the nod to Sea The Stars as the most exciting thing in racing today.

Yep, one can only pray that he comes for that race, and Zenyatta and/or Rachel is in the same race as him....

Put simply he's the best Flat horse I've ever seen. We've got him at 140, which puts him on a par with Dubai Millennium (still doesn't seem right to spell it like that!) - but he achieved it at 4 in what is arguably a suspect race - and, besides that, the best since Dancing Brave. Plenty in the office, not least the time boys, maintain that Eclipse run could be as high as 145, and there's nothing I've seen in the horse to suggest that he isn't that good. Most unlikely to see another one in a long time, so let's just hope that he proves it in the Arc; pushing for a Breeders' Cup run/4-y-o career, I suspect, will be wishing for too much! Let's hope, either way.


Of course, he's not a patch on Kauto Star!!

What's the news on him for the Arc? I sure hope he goes...

How about a little shout out for Urban Sea the broodmare.

Fame and Glory ran a pretty good race, made an early move and I can see him improving significantly over a NA style track in the BC if he comes over this year.

Congrats in advance to Mr. Christopher Tsui (of Hong Kong!).
