What the Nation is saying about Noosa Beach...

24 hours after racing gained a new hero in I'll Have Another, and a new great rivalry in him and Bodemeister, Emerald Downs will hold a little showdown of their own, as a pair of talented Harbor the Gold geldings, Noosa Beach and Hollywood Harbor, are set to vie for the title of King of the Pacific ...Read More
I would like to see this horse run at a different track other than Emerald Downs.

  • joepo · if noosa beach can win the longacres mile he has to be taken seriously as a threat in the BC Dirt mile. This division looks wide open with no clear favorite at this time · 282 days ago ·

The reason why no one looks at him is because he hasn't raced in a race above a G3 I'm not saying he is bad, I'm just saying we haven't seen his best yet...I hope.
While Noosa Beach commands most of the attention leading into Sunday’s Grade 3 Longacres Mile at Emerald Downs, another local horse, Winning Machine, has been going about his business, more or less under the radar. Some talented runners from California and Canada are shipping in to chase a share of ...Read More
This coming Sunday is the 76th running of the Grade 3 Longacres Mile, the premier race on the Pacific Northwest racing calendar. Noosa Beach will seek his second consecutive win and would join only two other horses to accomplish that feat in the race's history (Trooper Seven -1980/1981, and Simply M...Read More

I am happy to see that a debate has sparked over the Noosa Beach's value in comparison to the nation's top horses. I understand the skepticism from folks who want to see the Harbor the Gold gelding face stiffer competition. Unofficially, Doris and Jeff Harwood have indicated that they will provisionally nominate Noosa Beach in the BC Dirt Mile. Sdnaples: To answer your question of whether Noosa Beach is up for Horse of the Year. Why not? Maybe he's the Butler Bulldogs of college basketball. And when he gets to center stage, he will shine. Only time will tell. The one opinion I will give is that I do believe that he is better than last year's BC Dirt Mile winner Dakota Phone. For those who love him, for those who are intrigued by him, and for those who are skeptical of him. Follow him for the rest of 2011 and guarantee will all be fans, because he is one really nice horse.
How does a horse that beatsup on a bunch of donkeys at Emarald Downs end up int the top 20? This horse might be good, but doesnt belong in the top 100...
