Definitely a big effort. Large margin, fast time. And with his pedigree he should only get better with added distance.

A little more on Eight Rings.....
The ownership group paid $520,000 but that wasn't their only purchase as they also paid $500,000 for Aficianado.
Eight Rings goes to Baffert and wins at least one in a row and $36,600.
Aficianado goes to Mott's former assistant Rodolphe Brisset where he runs third at Indiana Grand and wasn't bet down to favoritism but collects a check for $3,100.
Good luck to;

I've found it easier to tear up tickets at 8/1 instead of 8/5.

Great picture too.Eight lengths in front of his closest pursuer with the length of the stretch still ahead, Super John drifted toward the outside rail approaching the wire before being corrected by jockey Sheldon Russell and coasted to a 19 ½-length romp Thursday at Laurel Park.

Gozilla (Flatter-Atlantic Dream-Stormy Atlantic) looked fantastic today in a maiden race at Saratoga. Myrtlewood shows up way, way back in the pedigree.

Green Light Go won the Saratoga Special in dominating fashion. With his size and pedigree (Hard Spun out of a Pleasantly Perfect mare), the tall bay should be able to handle increasing distance. I hope we get to see him in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile.

I love his pedigree. Stormy Atlantic and Flatter both very underrated horses.middleground wrote: ↑Sat Aug 10, 2019 4:51 pmGozilla (Flatter-Atlantic Dream-Stormy Atlantic) looked fantastic today in a maiden race at Saratoga. Myrtlewood shows up way, way back in the pedigree.
Flatter has become a fantastic sire..... he was a really talented horse, but injuries prevented him from showing it. His full brother, Congrats, has become a good sire as well.Izvestia wrote: ↑Sat Aug 10, 2019 10:32 pmI love his pedigree.

Collusion Illusion Trumps Wrecking Crew In Del Mar’s Best Pal
In just the second start of his career, the bay colt Collusion Illusion raced to a $17.40 upset over five rivals in the Grade II Best Pal Stakes for 2-year-olds Saturday at Del Mar. The winner clicked by a length and a quarter under rider Joe Talamo.
Finishing second in the six-furlong headliner carrying a $200,351 purse was an unlucky Wrecking Crew, who broke badly and spotted his rivals several lengths to start, then came back to close belatedly behind the winner. Finishing third a neck farther back was Fore Left.
Collusion Illusion, a $300,000 purchase at the OBS April sale of 2-year-olds in training, covered the Best Pal distance in 1:11.34 and earned a check for $120,000. He had won his other start in a straight maiden race at Del Mar on July 21 for trainer Mark Glatt. He now has earnings of $156,600. The Florida-bred by Twirling Candy is owned by three Washington State residents – Dan Agnew (Vancouver), Gerry Schneider (Auburn) and John Xitcod (Tacoma).

Twirling Candy is getting runners and IMHO may be Candy Ride's best sire son.
Of course, we still have to wait to see how Gun Runner does.

The 92 Beyer earned by $62.5k mcl winner Leucothea in fifth race Thursday at Del Mar is highest Beyer of year by juvenile filly North America. Peter Miller trains Leucothea, second-time starter sired by Midshipman. Leucothea won 5.5f race by more than 14 lengths in 1:03.89.

I read that he died of a heart attack during his first season at stud, so, only one foal crop. That would account for his name not turning up a lot.Mylute wrote: ↑Sat Aug 10, 2019 9:28 pmI can't recall seeing the name Sheikh Albadou in a pedigree before.BaroqueAgain1 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 10, 2019 5:30 pmGreen Light Go won the Saratoga Special in dominating fashion.

Not quite. He entered stud in 1993 in Kentucky, and did suffer a heart attack in his first season at stud... since moving to England. A while he did pass at the relatively young age of 11, he just wasn't a very prolific sire even before then.Happy Endings wrote: ↑Fri Aug 16, 2019 7:49 pmI read that he died of a heart attack during his first season at stud, so, only one foal crop.
