I'll give you a hint he made a habit of upsetting the likes of Kelso and Secreteriat.In reply to the remark about Ruffian being looked in the eye, I'd like to know what that meant.It wasn't as if she spit the bit , she broke down. Ruffian and Go for Wand both had tremendous heart and ability, and they ran so hard it cost them their lives.Since when is victory the only yardstick to guage racetrack talent? Slew in defeat was more impressive to me in defeat (JCGC) than Secreteriat was winning the Belmont.Not that Secreteriat was dog meat but that race that Slew ran was amazing , and he got beat. I love horses that dig in and find something, ones that never quit, those are what real champs are made of.I don't think ME is capable of winning the Derby, nor do I think the connections should attempt it, I think it will ruin the horse, and i think she can end up being a real nice filly. I will bet this horse against Halfbridled, I believe that the horse can be something special.I just hope they stop trying to rate her.
