Ah, good- wondering when he was going to be back!

At the start of the year, I had my top 3 rated in the following order ...

Indianapolis
Shared Belief
Bayern

So needless to say, I expected BIG BIG things from Indianapolis before he went out.

Well, looks like there will have to be two trips to Aqueduct this fall...  :D

Perhaps not - with the Breeders Cup being that day...

If they start it late - maybe?

I don't know but I would hate to miss Honor Code's return.

Well, I believe we saw Cairo Prince on the training track at Keeneland on Wednesday AM. He looked good.

Too bad he was retired.

It was good to see Indianapolis back running - though he did finish 10th. He certainly looked good in the works with Secret Circle leading up to the race.

Doesn't it seem weird that Pioneerof the Nile already has a son at stud? Seems like only yesterday that POTN was just going off to stud himself- too bad Cairo Prince couldn't run some more.

Like everything else on the planet time is speeding up!

I stick to the adage that time is moving slow...whether or not its wishful thinking...  ;)

Palace Malice will have a 2015 campaign and is cleared to go back into training:

Great news. We'll see if he can regain his 2014 form.

I think it's pretty well documented that I hate when any horse goes to Dubai ... pretty much fries 90% of them for the rest of the year.

Man o Taz

Aha...but if all of them go then aren't they equally fried?  ;)

Great ... just what I want to see ... lesser horses smoking all of them in the states next year post-Dubai.  ;)

I'd, personally, rather just see them all in top form here next year. I'm not big in "all or nothing" plays ... but that's just me.

Man o Taz

I know.

Chrome's really the only one I am advocating going to Dubai just because I want someone besides the Japanese to buy him since we'll never see him again if that happens.

I know TONY is going too because of his win in the UAE Derby but I think Chrome can take him on dirt.

Looking for a big effort on the grass - please take pics.
