Re: Irish War Cry
I suppose I would be taking a bit of creative license here, but what if we draw a line through IWC's Fountain Of Youth? Would you be more inclined to view the horse as a standout? That is kind of the stance I am taking here.
IWC is a May foal, so he'll be turning 3 during Derby week, thus he's still maturing. Plus, he is being managed by a future Hall of Famer conditioner.
Coming out of the Wood is not an issue to me. Another Derby winner prepped in the Spiral Stakes on poly (that hadn't produced a Derby winner in a while) and that horse was also trained by Motion.
In Graham we trust.
