I\u2019ve written about this horse in the BTB before.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Here\u2019s an exert from 12\/1 Royal Cad: \u201cOut of a \u201cG\u201d rated mare, this 4yo is going into his 42nd<\/SUP> race and has provided his owner with a nice bankroll.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Mostly allowance wins with a stakes thrown in.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Colt will be turning five shortly and creeping up on the W&T, so now\u2019s the time.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>However, as Yogi once said, \u201c99% of the birdie putts that come up short, usually don\u2019t go in\u201d. <\/SPAN>J<\/SPAN><\/SPAN> \u201c\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Have no reason to change opinion at this time.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><\/TD><\/TR>

This youngster out of a \u201cG\u201d rated mare by Storm Cat has taken the bull by the horns lately.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He\u2019s swept through conditions since being switched to dirt, and probably thinks he\u2019s \u201cking of the hill\u201d right now!\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Who are we to argue with him?\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He\u2019s got only two ways to go here.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Continue to progress his spectacular ride or bounce like a rubber ball.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>If he wins or places here, he may just well be the next \u201cKing of the Hill\u201d..<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><\/TD><\/TR>

Laura would love to take this one.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Her 6yo is on the verge of breaking the million $ mark but has to go through his arch rivals to do it.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He\u2019s already topped \u201cEP\u201d and Solar Song this past summer in the CA Classic after finishing a length behind \u201cEP\u201d in the previous G1 Movieland Shiny Cup a race back.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>So there\u2019s no intimidation here.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>In this he has to deal again with Passing Stone who he raced with to the turn for home and then flattened out in the Topicount Special last out.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He ran close to the pace in last as he sometimes does, but jock lost the whip on the stretch run.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>If that didn\u2019t cause his lack of effort, maybe the 113SP before that race did.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>No matter, he looks raring to go in this.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><\/TD><\/TR>

Approaching $3 million in earnings says a lot about the Bluegrass Derby winner.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He also placed in the next two Triple Crown events.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>What I like about this colt is his trainer saw the effects of the hard campaign and rested him for three months.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>As anyone who has had a G1 winner knows; that is a hard thing to do.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>However, in most instances it has it\u2019s rewards.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>In this particular case it proved to be the right thing to do.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>After two dull efforts in the Travelers and the World Cup, Ataun came back in a restricted listed race with a decent field, and easily won.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Now primed for another run at the Graded level he\u2019s looking for the speed to fold for his customary late move.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><\/TD><\/TR>
