What the Nation is saying about the Kentucky Cup Juvenile...

Hansen Turning Heads

Hansen turned heads at Turfway Park when he demolished a group of juvenile colts in the Kentucky Cup Juvenile Stakes. He traveled 1 1/16 miles in 1:45.83. Just two weeks earlier, the Michael Maker trainee dispatched maidens in similar fashion over the Polytrack. Hansen won his racing debut by...Read More

cathy.grimes1961 · I love this horse, but am not crazy about his pedigree. I am a sucker for free running horses that dare the others to come get them. If he can't make the classic distances, there are an awful lot of other ones, like the Met Mile. Would love to see him take that like another favorite gray of mine, Holy Bull. signed by Turnbackthealarm · 494 days ago ·

Hansen!

In a race that has produced such stars as Point Given, Editor’s Note, and Vindication, in only 18 previous runnings, Hansen blew the doors off his competition in a fashion more impressive than any winner of the race to date. A son of Tapit, out of the Sir Cat mare, Stormy Sunday, Hansen took it to t...Read More

annmatt · I predict Hansen will win the Breeders Cup Juvenile in the same fashion he has shown in his first two races. He doesn't seem to care about his competition, only getting to the lead and running all out, hell bent for leather! What a beauty he is, and breathtaking to watch. If he is the "real deal", and the Juvenile should give us a clue as to the answer to that question, then the only thing he will need to be concerned about is to stay healthy!! I shall cross my fingers (and pray) that he stays healthy. This year was plagued by dropouts, injuries, setbacks -- one analysis I read said that 65% of the Derby trail runners in January were on the shelf by June! That is a scary statistic, and one which I hope will not repeat for 2012. A horse like Hansen deserves to have a clear shot at immortality, which he seems to have the talent to do. Can’t help but think about Secretariat and the Belmont in watching Hansen demolish his opponents by 12 and 13 length wins. Too early, of course, but one can dream, and hope. As Priscilla Clark, of Tranquility Farm, wrote in a piece about Zenyatta: “If you love Thoroughbred horses you go through life hoping that you can see just one more in whose presence the clouds fall away to reveal the mountaintop.” Yes, it is too early, but, I think that’s what the sport is all about – hope. · 603 days ago ·

BrianAppleton · Union Rags and Hansen are the visual dazzlers here, I can't choose between them yet. Creative Cause like you said beat some really nice two year olds out west, but he doesn't look as dominant to me yet. Union Rags has the upper hand at the moment becuase of the competition and locations he's run (Saratoga and Belmont), but Hansen looks like a super star. I'm very eager to see him on dirt. · 589 days ago ·

Winplacsho · Of the 3 I would slightly lean toward Union Rags over Creative Cause because he looked so visually impressive despite all the traffic trouble. I think the book is still out on Hansen. Its good that he's been 2 turns, but he's never been on dirt & who knows what type of horses he was beating. · 587 days ago ·

And when the $100,000 Juvenile was run Saturday for the first time since 2008, the winner looked like he just might be capabl...Read More
