Thanks for the heads up.

I am confused about what they have planned for him.

He definitely runs well - when you have a horse of his caliber - why not put him in stakes races? Are they trying to get his confidence built up again?

He seems to run as good in stakes races as he does in allowance company finishing in the money...

I am sure there is a plan. I just hope he is in the winner's circle again soon.

They were considering the Metropolitan Mile for him next but more likely he'll go in the Salvator Mile...on July 5th.

Here is the race:

Actually wasn't a prediction Taz ... It came from "The Man" himself ... wish I could take credit for the prediction though. ;)

Nice field, but your boy is a beast now ... He'll romp!

Should be interesting seeing him go up against The Dude the rest of this year, after this one of course ...  :)

It should.

Game On Dude should be sharp for the HGC.

Of course, I have hopes that I might get to see Game On Dude out East running in the $1.5 million G1 Whitney.

After all, The Dude's connections have chased money before.

And I know it comes up three weeks before the Pacific Classic, but it is for more money than the Pacific Classi, over dirt which the Dude prefers to polytrack.

It would also go a long way to answering questions that the Dude can't ship and win against the best Eastern horses.

Just say'in.

Maybe if Fury is a beast in the HGC that will give Mr. Baffert pause to look East. Then again, Mr. Hollendorfer likes to ship. Maybe Fury goes in the Whitney. And if I could have them both...to dream.

I'm going to do it...use an emoticon...

;D

Furry...2nd to Clubhouse Ride.

I was very surprised that CR was allowed to get to the rail at the top of the stretch.

I wonder if Mr. Nakatani saw him coming on the inside.

If he had been stopped, Furry would have won.

C'est la vie.

Revolutionary is being pointed to the Stephen Foster and possibly the Whitney.

Revolutionary never got into the race it seems. Hopefully I'll get to see him in the Whitney...

Will Take Charge did not get much of a rest...before he was entered...

Well, Fury Kapcori had a hall of fame jockey on his back in the (Hollywood) Gold Cup. I do not know that it helped. The half in 45 and change...in a horse's first 10 furlong effort.

Eddie Olczyk can handicap...I think Paul LoDuca could take some lessons from him...with his picking the winners of the two big stakes races on NBC Sports...and my wife says that he did really well with the Triple Crown undercards as well.

I know there are likely trademark issues involved in taking races from track to track under the same name...but I wish the names belonged to the state racing associations and not the tracks themselves.

He looked excellent. Ran the mile in 1:34 and change. Geared down just before the wire and never looked to be running all out.
