TGAB/DAN--

Solid analysis by both of you.

TGAB--You confirmed my play in this. I like EYE OF THE TIGER and will key him with several of the contenders such as MIDAS EYES.
(Thanks for taking the time out to do this.)

I thought that the route races he ran in this summer dulled his speed for the KINGS BISHOP (which was Travers Day and one of the most wicked speed biases I have ever seen up there.)

Despite an in and out horror trip after getting off a step slow, he lost by only 3 lenghths. His "3" performance rating is quite impressive when you consider what he was up against that day.

Perhaps a stronger 3yo returns on Friday, a 3yo that has already indicated enough class to outrun his AMERICAN CHANCE pedigree. I'm just hoping that Hollendorfer is not prepping for the longer races which I think is Mullins' intentions with BUDDY GILL.


Happy Holidays to all and may all the photos go your way,
Joe B.
