am I the only one that doesn't get why people are so high on this horse? Random horses place in TC races almost every year that never run back to that success. Just seems premature to me before we even see his second US start.
Justify and the dirt females are saving this year of racing for me. The big purse races are making it much less enjoyable to follow older dirt males since the best of the best aren't racing during the fun parts of the year, and the turf divisions are lacking the star power like we've seen in recent years.
I honestly miss those days on this site. Sometimes frustrating, sure, but there was a better variety of discussion. I hardly come here anymore because the news feed is just people fangirling over Curlin

You don't send 9x G1 winners to good horses who outran their breeding whose foals haven't hit the ground yet.
Love the idea of her in the Cotillion. This is a fun filly to watch, I'd rather have her fresh for G1s later this year than risk it all in the Alabama if he doesn't think she's ready.
If the triple crown was run later in the year (like the Canadian TC), do you think we would have seen more or fewer triple crown winners? something I was thinking about today.
Hope we keep seeing the Bluegrass and Wood horses winning the rest of this year. Anything to get those back to G1
She is one awesome horse.
Would need to watch again before I call that a bad ride, but regardless not a good trip for PW. If she didn't have to steady hard and get trapped, i think she wins.
