Thanks guys for the nice words. Good to be back.
Richie, I do remember that Diana. It definitely was the weight that held back CAribbean Sunset.....
I miss Ramon. Still think he will go down way under appreciated because he didn't travel to the bigger circuits when the better horses left town. Feel he was the best of the last 15 years. I know impossible to prove, but man, he seemed to always be in the right spot, saving ground, with something left late. Javier has periods where he rides the turf course like Ramon rode it almost all the time.
Pletcher committed with Stradivari now. Still no other speeds lined up. Really wondering if Kent tries to change the running style of Exaggerator and stays a bit closer.
Too early for Frank D to say whether we get a dry track for the Belmont?
