This is why I am such a big fan and and supporter of trainers like Matz, Motion, etc. I had hoped Union Rags would launch Matz into a big time trainer. Racing needs more trainers like him.

Roadhouse Blues raced off the pace, moved up three wide on the turn, bid at the quarter pole, put a head in front in mid stretch, dug in gamely and was caught nearing the wire.

Roadhouse Blues (Chrome- Barracks Road by Elusive Quality) was second in her debut today at Monmouth! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/05d0b3324d852ee89acf659e7ca55c3b9f01e58ef9d9aba88dcc1a95082a68b4.jpg

This shows how hard it is to stay perfect as a race horse. This takes nothing away from the great Enable though. Nice race back for her.

Although she didn’t win I thought her stretch run was actually great. She was green at the start and was well behind the top two and at this short distance had a lot to make up. She was really moving coming out of the turn and finished strong. Chrome didnt start shining until he was three. I’ll give it a couple more before for her before I make a decision on her talent. But so far I see potential!

Her accomplishments will be debated for years to come. But the fact that she was a superb equine athlete that exemplified consistency, health, and heart cannot he argued. Here is a treat for the Winx fans. It will be forever bookmarked on my account. https://youtu.be/pj46MDgkRms

He? Lol bye Felicia

It really sucks bisou didn’t win the distaff last year because she honestly belongs in the BC classic this year. But she can’t go there without a distaff win in her accomplishments. But after this performance, paired with her Saudi Cup one I think she would be a force in the BCC especially if Max comes back as not the same horse as before. Devastating and beautiful win! Her turn of foot on that turn was insanely incredible.

A very nice colt who has run some very impressive races. But let's call a spade a spade. What he is is a talented three year old male who has run some nice races including a much shortened and less prestigious Belmont. He has yet to step outside his division and run against open company. If he ran against Bisou in the Saudi Cup she would have smoked him. Bisou ran against all males in the richest race in the world, traveling halfway across the world to do it and put the smackdown on all of them except one, one who we will never know if he was roided up and assisted him in the win. Calling him HOTY in only June in a year like this when the racing is far from over, and there are other horses who have run in open company just doesn't feel right imo. Still a big fan of the horse. He is up there for me with Honor AP for Derby consideration. It will be interesting to see these two square off because HAP has a strong closing running style, and Tiz has very good early speed and can carry it well into the stretch.

Who do you think is the best sire of active horses this year? Honor Code? Tapit? Into Mischief? American Pharoah?
