Who exactly are you talking about? Rail Trip? Einstein? Parading?

Gitano Hernando swooped in and beat most of the best California older horses after Rail Trip gimped out.

I thought they all pretty much sucked, synthetic or not.

It is more likely that he will be the next Ketchikan or My Pal Charlie.

Why is that more likely? Blame is very serious.... Hes better then the Kentucky Derby winner, he has been better then him for about 5 months. Hes better then the Macho Again, Einstein and Bullsbay and they are the 3 best older dirt horses we had this year. With Summer Bird being injured and Quality Road having issues, Blame is right at the top of the handicap division next year.

Well said.

It's easy to poke fun at Stall because he's had a couple of horses who looked like they might be good. Fact of the matter is that Blame has already proven he's a good horse.

I never really understood why everyone thought Ketchikan was so highly regarded as he never really accomplished anything before getting hurt. My Pal Charlie showed up for the Super Derby as a N1X winner and he retired as an N1X winner and Super Derby winner. He had potential but never realized it and that, I think, is more the exception than the rule with Stall.
