ouija board points to the classic

Bright One isn't actually running....is he?

He may run....they originally wanted to but he ran badly under the lights at Hoosier...Romans said that he is more talented than both Roses in May and Kittens' Joy - so I wouldn't be surprised if he enters because he knows that horse loves CD and it is a home game for him...

Personallly, I thing Bright one is live at a big price to clunk up the TRI and maybe the EX if he fires his best shot....

He's not really a clunk up type...that's the problem.

I love the ridiculous overestimations...better than Roses in May and Kittens Joy. Let's see them do it on the track before we hear how great they are. No doubt, he flashed some real potential, but many show potential and few live up to it.

After witnessing countless races at Evangeline Downs and Dleta Downs under the lights when I was a younger, I can honestly see why Bright One and Ermine ran poorly at Hoosirew first time under the lights.....Ronnie thinks thats why his filly ran poorly and I heard from good sources that Bright One could not have been doing better and was spectacular looking leaving the paddock...Dale thougt he would air in the race, but he obviopsuly balked....

DALE thinks hes betetr than Roses in May and Kittens Joy amd that is saying alot IMO...noit that those guys are always right - but he is a good enough trainer to take notice of a horse at 30-1....

i dont think bright one is a clunk up type either.......he'll either wire the field or burn himself out and finish towards last.....id opt more for the latter...the is NOT the wv derby field

They say he'll rate fine, he just hasn't had to yet....they said they would rate him in the BC

I will wait and see him " rate just fine " before concluding he can, as he hardly strikes me as one that will, especially in this spot.

Good horse, so he will probably survive running last in the Classic, but he certainly isn't winning. Then again, at their respective early points in their careers, Bright One was faster than Bernardini.

Didn't Afleet run last in the Classic as a 3YO? He was the best uncrowned champion I may have ever seen.
