Yeah, that was apparently an emotional question for you to answer based on your next post.

Had I known you thought I was calling you a liar, I'd have phrased my question more delicately.

You didn't answer my other questions though. Namely, what do you see in this horse, or know about him, that makes you so high on his future?

To be fair, Baffert's 2 maiden winners, Clutch Player and Quiet Invader, clocked 6f in 1:08+ as well.

Tiz Chrome still has a long way to go.

At least he's got a dirt win, though.

Yeah, nice call.

I still just would like to know what you saw in him that made you so high on the horse.

It wasn't a sarcastic question at all.

I could be wrong, but I think both Lookin and Lucky and Zensational either sold or were RNA'd for peanuts as yearlings. Sometimes horses change a lot, fast. Anyway, Tiz Chrome is now my favorite soon to be 3yo. LOVE all that chrome.

Yeah, LAL RNA'd for 35k as a yearling. Seven months later he went for 475k.

Zensational sold for 20k as a yearling and five and a half months later went for 700k.

Tiz Chrome RNA'd for 9k though man. I suppose the Zensational auction history is more strange, but it's hard to imagine a yearling from such a hot sire as Tiznow being able to RNA for so little and then turn out to be a good horse.

When you see these kind of low numbers at the sales, isn't the question less how fast they can run (because a lot of crooked horses can run fast), but how many times they will be able to run?

I'm sure there are a lot of geniuses who will disagree ... but I don't see anyway in hell how anyone can tell how fast a horse is at a yearling sale.
