If I were to rank the horses in this field, Animal Kingdom would be dead last.
I don\'t think I\'ve ever seen a U.S. horse with the centuries of turf breeding in EVERY SINGLE LINE of this one\'s pedigree. I\'ll retire from the game if this one pops a new top at Churchill Downs. I mean, there\'s not even a speck of dirt, or grain of dust in that DNA to hang your hopes on. When\'s the last time a Dark Ronald descendant made it to the gates here?
What are they thinking? This looks like nothing more than a hail mary stud play by Team Valor. I would hope Graham Motion would talk sense into them.
That being said, they got a hell of a future synth/turf champion on their hands IMO.
He\'s suppose to work Saturday. If he goes and they wise up and decide not to run him, that\'ll let in Anthony\'s Cross who although slow now, looks ripe for a big forward move.
