He's back ... And maybe better than ever ... A 98 Beyer first out and then wins a Grde 2 in very impressive fashion!!
Looks like he'll be heading to The Pacific Classic now ... Not sayin g he'll win it, but I'll just be excited to see him there when I thought he'd been retired for a while there.
Live life, don't just exist it!
I'm happy too Tinny! I love this horse.
Cool Anne! Glad to hear he's got other fans here.Originally Posted by EquineAnne
Yeah ... I'm grinning from ear to ear and beaming with pride right now.
I've always loved this guy from day one ... I'm SOOOOOO happy for him.

He did it from way off the pace too! Definitely a change in style for him ... And it worked like a charm!!

It was pretty cool to see him rally like that. For a while there, he seemed like he was running up the track in all of his starts.
He wins impressively once a blue moon, I had a hunch he might do it against this field, but I didn't listen to my hunch and tossed him. I heard before the race they planned on debuting his new style of laying back. It certainly worked.

love this horse
Boy did it!!
Hopefully that was the key and he'll be more consistent now ... Much like with the change in First Dude's style.
Nice to see him NOT playing the rabbit for Rail Trip any more ... Maybe he can start to shine now.

That's 'cause he was ...

Love the name!!! Very nice horse.
He did ... It's nice to see he might be finally learning to maximize it ...
I'm SOOOO happy they kept him in training and gave him another shot to showcase it.

First graded stakes victory since the summer of 2008.. hope it's not that long until the next one.
Well ... One thing for sure ... He'll be taking a shot at another one ...First graded stakes victory since the summer of 2008.. hope it's not that long until the next one.
The San Diego Handicap is a stepping stone for The Pacific Classic ... I'll be surprised if we don't see him there ...
Winning it though ... May be a different story ... That's a very tall order.
But I, personally, would just love to see him get the shot ...

This is very cool ... Just think ... From totally off the radar and that I thought he'd retired ... To now having an automatic berth in The Breeder's Cup!
I hope he stays healthy and continues to progress ... I'd love to see him there.
The San Diego Handicap was part of the Breeders' Cup Challenge program, offering a fees-paid berth to the winner for the BC Dirt Mile at Churchill Downs in November.

I bet non of you had the hunch play double.That's 'cause he was ...
I didn't get to see it live (I'm heading off to find the replay now), but I was thrilled when I read he won yesterday. I was also really happy for Make Music For Me and his win.
This from the Bloodhorse article about his win in The San Diego ...
"Thank God, he showed his old class from a couple of years ago," Hicker added. "We're real excited about his future."
Could that include the $1 million TVG Pacific Classic Aug. 28?
“We’ve definitely got to look at it the way he ran today,” Jones said.

And again Christina Olivares picked out his trainer for her pre-race interview.
