Wow, xlnt article! so glad someone feels the same way as I do about this Mighty little horse. I too thought it one of the best races I've seen in many years. I watch it over & over also. I too still get goosebumps! GO IHA!
Horse / Rider Combo - Match Made in Heaven
kedez2012 YOU SURE SAID IT CORRECTLY! Thank you. He is a proven proven horse - you guys forget times OK? I know that sounds crazy but we are talking about CLASS. He is one classy horse, he knows it & knows where the wire is & he LOVES his jock. a mutuel communication is so necessary to win and win and WIN :o) GO IHA! YOU ARE A FREAK!
silverruffian - That wasn't a hissy fit, sorry you see it that way. Just wondering why you might feel that way? To speak of a horse you've never really seen train... Its not my opinion, nor my imagination- its a fact, just ask the rider or xrider of this fine horse. Apologies if I offended you.
Is this just your imagination that says he doesn't have the stamina? Or do you know him and have watched him for 4 months? I know him & have watched him. He is a very strong horse & the best part is he knows it.
Wow, read some of these posts & you all are following the diss on IHA. Well watch and see this is a real racehorse, as I've said for the last 4 months on this site. HE CAN be a triple crown winner. And a few more furlongs DID NOT make Dullahan a winner only in your imagination cuz if IHA is headed he has another gear. Have a little respect for a MONSTER.
JohnBravo Nicely said ! I agree. I've seen this horse in the paddock last 2 wins. He Loves Himself! RACEHORSE!
I think Hall of Famer Ramon Dominguez had his choice - picks Hansen - thats sure says a lot in my book. Go Hansen!
Looks simple to me - I'll Have Another MIGHT be a freak. C'mon this colt worked 1:10 FLAT w/o company, PLUS he likes himself. You gotta see this colt in person in the paddock he is a racehorse and thats what it will take in the KY Derby, presence of mind & a big will to win. Hansen has that will I think too. Bode is prob most talented but the KY Derby seemed to ruin Midnight Interlude - a Very talented colt at the time. Too green for a 20 horse field. Just my thoughts.
This is a RECEHORSE! If he can go the distance... ? Built like a sprinter, but heart of a BIG horse. SA Derby will tell the tale. I said that for his last 2 turns which he finished a good 3rd but will try once more. Hey, 83-1 in the future book... Has a good trainer!
