What the Nation is saying about the 2011 Breeders' Futurity (G1)...

All Hail Hansen

The choice to be made is who will be crowned a Champion, and as of now, the nation would seem to be completely split. Those on the side of the son of Dixie Union claim that if not for running 78ft more and a very green run down the stretch he would be 4 for 4. Those stand in Hansen’s corner point to...Read More

Lee AnneFoley · Agreed. It may have been tough for Union Rags, but it wasn't an easy feat for Hansen, either. All day long, it seemed like the track was favoring closers as the speed horses kept fading, but Hansen hung on. It was the first time he'd been challenged in his races, too. · 557 days ago ·

brooklyn.steve · Secret Circle should get the Eclipse Award for best 2 year old. He is unbeaten, won his Breeders Cup race, and I believe he will stretch out and be in the starting gate for the Derby. Hansen won, but I doubt he can/want's to run much longer, but he should come in second in the voting. · 557 days ago ·

The Mule · Hansen showed how tough he is by not letting anyone get by him. He ran on the inside lane at a fast pace when most of the winners that day came from behind in the middle of the track. Next year will prove him to be a huge talent. · 557 days ago ·

ruhlmann · Hansen should be crowned Champion. He did nothing wrong all year and took it to them in the BC Juv. The debate for 2 year-old champion should only be between Hansen & Union Rags. I don't see how Secret Circle's name should even be mentioned. Sure he's a good 2 year-old sprinter, but he avoided the best horses & he never won a graded race all year. · 557 days ago ·

DiegoVol · I am a Creative Cause fan when it comes to the 2 year olds. I honestly think if Hansen doesnt move in front of him in the stretch, CC wins. Although, That didnt happen. Hansen ran an excellent race and even if he won by a nose he deserves to be crowned Champion. For a horse to lead the entire race then out kick the entire stretch against 2 of the best stalkers in the race was super impressive. · 557 days ago ·

But it is a great pic, I love it, even though it wasn't me who put it up, lol. Buttt, obviously I did write the blog, so thank you for the compliment on that.

Mike in SB · I like Hansen for Champion 2 year old, and it looks like we have three colts that may have the breeding to go longer as 3 year olds, Union Rags, Hansen and Creative Cause. This could be a good crop and the fillies look pretty strong also, now if a few older horses stay in training, 2012 could be a lot better than this year, although that would not be too difficult. · 557 days ago ·

atamulonis · Very good points. Union Rags is a VERY good colt, but Hansen was much the best in the Juvenile. I hope he is voted champion 2-year old male. · 557 days ago ·

zenyatta-perfection personified · Both horses would have had legit excuses for not running well (Hansen on the lead on a track biased against speed, Union Rags running greenly and wide) but they both ran terrific. I don't really know who is "better," - I just hope they both stay sound and healthy to be back at the BC a year from now, this time in the Classic. · 557 days ago ·

annmatt · Hansen! I wish the best for all the up and coming juvies. Next year's 3 yr old crop won't have to go far to beat the 3yo this year!!! Other than Dialed In, there was a different winner in every Derby prep this year! Follow that up with the TC with a different horse winning each of the three! I think the pro handicappers were glad when that was over with! LOL · 557 days ago ·

CauseForConcern · Hail to Hansen!!!!! And kudos to Turfway Park. Kicked to the curb by all the pundits, Turfway has responded by providing the first synthetic Ky Derby winner(Animal Kingdom) and coming back with the Juvenile champion. Not bad for a six month run. · 556 days ago ·

RuffianIŁourdes · Mary: Are you one of those psycho fans?? You are just keep writting and writting about how great Union Rags is,well we know that! And Hansen is a great horse too! They are both great horses,but no you just can't understand the fact that Hansen beat Union Rags and you just hate Hansen because of that,don't you? If all of you can't agree on who Champion 2-yo schoulf be,than I just think they schould be both. · 538 days ago ·

buckpasser · Hansen has a good pedigree for distance on both sides with Storm Cat Pulpit and Raiseva native on the dam side. Hansen has alot of heart which he proved in the Breeders Cup.nunion rags is a good horse too. Michael matz was one of my trainers when I showed horses so I always like him. To me this could be another rivalry like Affirmed and Alydar · 538 days ago ·

cugel the clever · @icyhotboo - note my use of the word "should" instead of "is". the award is usually given based on fan passion, the looks of the horse, the lobbying of the owners, etc. actual results and accomplishments are far down the list of criteria. that's why Z won HOY in 2010 and why UR will probably win 3yo in 2011. sad but true - same thing happens in elections. · 537 days ago ·
