What the Nation is saying about the Tom Fool...

With Kentucky Derby fever in full flight, fans are clamoring for Union Rags – Hansen II.

  • Mike in SB · I believe at the end of last year he was the best miler in the country, not too sure 6 furlongs is his best distance, but should set him up for the Carter. If he comes back as good as he was at the end of 2011 he could have a great year and I hope to see him in the Breeders Cup Dirt Mile. · 91 days ago ·
