MarcelloMarocco · Dance Smartly was the one that bothered me the most. Beautiful mare, and Great racer, but she had to be euthanized after a paddock accident. Then there is Izvestia , another Canadian TC winner who was euthanized at 4 after a catastrophic injury during a race. Finally this year the passing of the best Sire since Northern dancer....Sadler's Wells. · 16 days ago ·

likin sparks · If he slows down before the 1/4 and sets off the pace he'll be fine over a mile, this horse wants to win and his determination is noticeable. I say yes, but he has to learn how to conserve. · 72 days ago ·

travel_vic · Horses are individauls and nothing other. Pedigree said Ciagr was a turf horse and Lure a dirt horse. those "theoreticals" never worked out in those two individuals did they? or coutnless others as well. The horse does what it shows capability of and not much else · 71 days ago ·

BrianZipse · How was is that pedigree said Cigar was a turf horse and Lure was a dirt horse (by the way, as a grandson of Northern Dancer, I completely disagree) if not for consistent trends in breeding results? Eddington loved a distance, and Dixieland Band is the broodmare sire of two Kentucky Derby winners ... you can't tell me this horse doesn't have a better chance of handling a distance than a horse with sprint breeding. · 71 days ago ·

travel_vic · People are always looking for a direct genetic correlation when, objectively there aren't any. They look at those individuals who possess such an such a trait NEVER evaluating the dozens and dozens who never maifest that characteristic and then tell all they have figured it out. The old adatage STILL rings true today, Breed the best to the best (pheotype) and HOPE for the best. · 71 days ago ·

travel_vic · One of Claiborne's standards to be a stallion was the ability to get 10 furlongs at three. In that definition it did not matter WHEN in that three year old season. Many don't get 10 furlongs in May but do in August (Forty Niner, Holt Bull, Chief's Crown and others) Stamina is taught speed is inborn) · 71 days ago ·

JohnByrd · Well...if speed is inborn, then I'd say Secret Circle's 97 Beyers pretty much prove he was born with speed. If stamina is taught, maybe Baffert can figure out how to train a horse between now and May. :)) · 71 days ago ·
