Hey Richeebee, regarding your so-called "dead link" I think the restored blog includes a technical bug whereas we can't add a link to a post. Nicely Nicely may have an opinion about my hunch.

Secondly, I have already rushed to judgment on Violence and the endurance or long-distance capability of his get. Barring a stamina-loaded mare I will toss his offspring from any race longer than 1 + 1/8 miles.

In regard to Forte, the idea that a young colt has already or will soon outrun its breeding typically refers to runners stretching from sprints to routes. IMO, Forte is a magnificent racehorse and a top-notch router probably best at a mile and an eighth. He could be a superior miler or win the Belmont that is yet to be seen. So, for the time being, I am against either.

However, in TAP I trust. and if there is a prop bet Forte vs National Treasure in the Belmont I will fade Forte. The curious horse, Prove Worthy, appears to be bred for a marathon not only because he lacks speed. Ha!

Lastly, Arcangelo deserves the steam, and Tapit Trice deserves the favoritism in my book.
