This thread held so much potential considering the title...and all we get is a horse?

Cute little guy though!

Horse appears to also be a 'universal good thing'.. Has a big buzz.

That buzz is never a good thing with a horse who came the 2yo sales route and already had his big chance to show his hand in my opinion.

The horse had the outright fastest unblinkered 1/4 mile of the session at FT Tim ... but the time was 22 flat and not as many worked it as in the past. 97K is freaking peanuts to pay for that.

Sometimes when you see small-fry connections and a cheap price tag you expect to get a price when they debut and you don't because a lot of buzz comes with the horse. I thought this would be the kind you'd get 8/1 on at Parx in a debut -- and you see 5/2 on the ML at GP.

You think he is a play against? Seems like there are some better options in the race, at better prices.

No. I think he can run.

For whatever reason, so do other people though. Many times these horses won't get bet... this one will because his connections are working him fast and I suppose talking him up.

The value's just not going to be there. Just thought I'd post this though because of the sheer coolness of his name.

Thank, Doug. I normally would have tried to beat him. Between Hossy giving out the winner in the 3rd, I liked the 7 in the 4th and this one, the Pick 3 paid a nice enough $271 for $1
