Thanks for starting this thread SDST2009.. Alot of good points on here.
I just got home from Scioto and watched the replay.. I will make a few points
First, we can all agree the horse is an absolute monster
Second, it is great for the sport to have a superstar, how "the powers that be"use that super stardom is an entirely different topic
Third,  of course the bobble doesn't deserve to drive this horse. He lucked into it. It's well documented that Roy was going to drive him his first lifetime start, but he had to be at The Meadowlands for the graduate finals. Right place, right time for McClure..
Having said that..alot of drivers had no business driving some of our sports superstars.. SBSW MacDonell, Niatross Clint Galbraith, Jenna's Beach Boy and Western Hanover Bill Fahy..I could go on and on.. so not ultra rare.
Lastly hopefully he comes to the states to compete..no horse in Canada is beating him. He is LBJ eligible and Dr. Moore hasn't been shy about racing here. Could he overcome post 7 or 8?

I think Beau Jangles was lucky last year that the top few Indiana horses were not staked to grand circuit.

This year, different story. I don't see anyone touching Beau Jangles.

You're exactly right.

So far - I haven't seen anything that can get within a few lengths of him. Several of the potential contenders from last year haven't come back even close to how this colt has.

I'm usually a pessimist on horses like this, but he is freak good. I really hope he is the jolt this sport needs.

they stated 11,542 was the carryover if the pic 4 was guaranteed money shouldn't it be 20,000 carryover. Or are they false advertising?

That Marvin Luna rang up a 58-1 upsetting of Yo Tillie. He's ok but not my favorite by any stretch.
