Sweetnorthernsaint gobbles ground like Skip Away did, excepts he's even more athletic...much like a swimmer's physique. I think this horse is very special. Not sure what was up on Gotham Day, but he found his customary "second gear" in the stretch today but more importantly showed rate-ability. I see a nice trip being worked out at Churchill. If he can draw posts 1-10 at Louisville I will be loving my $100 35-1 future!!!! Might not even be able to sleep the night before.
I can't wait for May. I feel like a partner on this one being that I hand picked him off his maiden breaker. I still have yet to see a horse run this year (of any age or surface) that has the fluid stride this one does...
And to think I could have had him for $50G last year!!!!! Doh!!!!
