Signalman is indeed a curious one. After a busy two year old season connections have really taken their time this year.

I took a look at his most recent work. The video didn\'t show much of other horses but Signalman looks more like an adult horse than than a juvenile colt. He\'s really filled out.

No telling what kind of a mind he has but suspecting he\'s still learning. I agree he\'s gonna run a breakout race sometime soon and I like him a lot better in this spot than the Belmont which one wouldn\'t think suits his breeding. At m/l 30/1 he is not getting any respect.

A definite use imho.

Well, never mind.  I was trying to post an article about Clem Florio referring to Deputed Testamony but . . .  no luck.

The only thing I got right today. This and Win Win Win beating Bourbon War about all that keeps me from running around the block screaming. As far as details Miss Stronach\'s eyes appear ... well forget about it or check the awards replay?
