Is this just a pedigree thing? I'm not seeing anything else appealing about this horse.

There's always some mediocre overrated A. P. Indy horse for the Risen Star ... some like Friesan Fire and the god awful Scipion win very unimpressively ... others like Indy Dancer get exposed before the hype train can get out of control.

This stellar Pletcher A. P. Indy below was actually favored over Badge of Silver in the Risen Star ...




I remember the Cradle Stakes at River Downs when Scipion faced Bellamy Road. I was trying to bet Bellamy Road - but I was at an off-track wagering parlor and all the mutuals went down five minutes before the race and didn't come back on till the race was over.

Speaking of TAP flops in the Risen Star. How could we forget about Harlington.

DrugS, your avatar looks like K.D. Lang wearing Harry Caray's sunglasses.

Discreetly Mine is bred to run all day. As for the AQU inner, it has sent out some nice horses over the last few years and a fast horse is a fast horse.
