What the Nation is saying about Midnight Interlude...

Retired to stud and sold to India. I had no idea India even had thoroughbred racing. I guess you learn something new every day! Best wishes to this horse.
Would like a good top finish from him
All told, Premier Pegasus won 4 of 5 starts, with one 3rd, and earned $293,400, but of course these numbers full of promise mean nothing. PrePeg was a horse with potential to be great. Maybe he would have been, or maybe not. We will never know. In one day, in one moment, in one split-second, a livin...Read More

  • mkstorm · His win in the San Felipe was hands down the most impressive prep race that year. Rest in peace and bless Premier Pegasus and solace to his connections. · 176 days ago ·

Game On Dude worked six furlongs in company with stablemate Midnight Interlude and was clocked in 1:12.20 with regular rider Rafael Bejarano in the saddle.Read More
  • forego139 · Game On Dude is sharp as a tack and ready to go, the only question is the distance, with new rider Bejarano in the irons is what this son of Awesome Again needs to gets the distance and it also helps that he is on his favorite track, G.O.D. the one to beat in the Classic. As for the sprint Coil has really been impressing in the mornings and appears to be sitting on a big race, he has an upset chance of winning the Sprint this year. Defending champ Amazombie appears to be having issue's and something is amiss, he has not been himself since his win in the Pat O' Brien, Capital Account is another that is in sharp form and if the pace is hot he will be motoring down the lane like a freight train without brakes. Filly and Mare Turf, Lady Of Shamrock has been flying under the radar and will be the one to beat , most likely she will be overlooked and that bodes well getting a juicy price on her. The Juvenile Fillies, what can I say other than Executiveprivilege is a Super Star in the making and will be a single for the exoctic players. In the B.C. Turf no question Point Of Entry is the one to beat, this son of Dynaformer is as sharp a tack and we still have not seen his best, look for a big performance from this one and that should put him over the edge for HOTY, like Shug said wait until he gets to California on a firm turf and he will show just how good he is. The B.C. Mile Wise Dan will be the heavy favorite in there and I do believe he will be upset, Obviously is beening supplemented into the race for $100,00.00, he is burning up the turf course and just ran a low 1:32 and change at Santa Anita, and the race prior to that he set a Turf Course record at Del Mar, he is ultra sharp and is trained by the talented Mike Mitchell and will be ridden by Say it ain't so Joe Talamo the one to beat, and no I did-not forget the Euro's, IMO they will be shut out this year and will be non-factors this year. · 240 days ago ·

  • icyhotboo · I believe Wise Dan is one of the best horses I've seen run, period. He runs on all surfaces, any distane, always fires, and he's a gelding which is good for the fans as we'll get to see more of him. Aside from Frankel this is the best horse runninng today IMO · 256 days ago ·

Not so sure Baffert will send Prayer for Relief to Churchill after the Ok Derby - such a nice horse flying under the radar these days. 3 weeks out is short time leading up to a huge race.
