Comment on THE NEW SUPER-SIRES: ARE THEY WORTH IT? by Warstone

I think that he will do very well. Not only he is by Danzig but he was a very good horse on Dirt. He is probably the horse that I think will do best on the long term from his foal crop (the only possible exception being Curling).

I know that he this is his first season at stud, aso therefore no one knows for sure how he will do, but how do you think Hard Spun, being a son of Danzig, will do as a sire?

Dave:

Thank you very much for the comment, I agree with you that Casino Drive is a good horse and that it would be great if he ran a big one but I kind of feel that going to the Belmont after just two starts is a big issue for him.

Rajasthan worked a bullet today and we are aiming for a Saturday race at Belmont hoepfully we will get in this one.

I kind of feel the same way I do about Curlin. Both great horses, but ownership/trainers make it hard to really become a fan. However, after 30 years will be rooting for a Triple Crown! While I agree with a lot of what you wrote, I think you may be underestimating Casino Drive - Peter Pan was very impressive and I believe will make a race of it.

By the way, good luck with Rajasthan. Seems like you have had a tough time getting the weather to cooperate. Sorry to hear about the blacksmith setback with the foot, hopefully he runs soon.

You’ve hit the nail on the head with these points! The horse himself is really kind of great, but gosh, I really don’t want to add him to the select list of Triple Crown winners. And sadly, I would feel much different if Eight Belles had won the Derby & Preakness. Great horse, great name, interesting connections would be so much easier to cheer for!

I hope that a through investication will be done on the tragedy that occured when eight bells broke both of her ankles after the race was over.
Something smells fishy to me.

I am so sorry, so sad. She did great today. She proved she can run with the guys. I am just so sad for all of her family and those who loved her.

Heart of gold. My heart is broken at her passing.

By that measure, fillies also have a better chance to win than colts. I’m sure (colts who have won) / (total colts entered) works out to be much less than 8%.

It’s a simplified way of looking at things, but it’s also reminder not to discount a filly in the derby!
