Vernon O. Underwood Stakes- Pacific Ocean
I have been watching this horse since he broke his maiden at Arlington and this horse has a world of ab ility, IMHO he's the most talented horse in the race. Injuries, mismanagement, whatever, has kept him from realizing it. He's been switched to Mike Mitchell and is going to run big.
Haven't been this excited about a race in a while.

cashed on him pretty good. this horse has legit grade 1 abiltiy, i dont' know what the heck they were doing with him @ arlington /keeneland.
from what i understand/heard he has temper issues and is a headcase hence why he's a gelding, but last year i seriously thought he might have been the most talented 3YO in the country in the summer.
not saying he's anywhere near that ability but he's the first ghostzapper offspring that remotely resembles the ability of his daddy IMHO. he just absolutely toyed with some graded stakes caliber horses in keeneland last year.

You made a nice selection and I'm glad you did well, but the above is not even close to correct. There were no graded stakes horses in his races at Keeneland, either fall or the next spring.

I said calibur
I remember the race distinctly. he beat some decent horses including china who had beaten noble's promise in the past and ran 2nd to him in the allowance race on breeders cup day last year. and when I say beat, I mean beat into the ground.
I have very high hopes for this horse. he is very good and I hope he has the chance to fulfill his ability. plus he's a gelding.

I used the horse but I didn't see that big a performance. I didn't connect on anything but hats off to you for making a score. I like to see people win.

dude i posted this 2 days before the race. i don't' give a damn bout the "selections" thread. i don't even know what that is. plus it wasn't so much a selection as me just being a fan of a really good horse.

Some people go nuts when you make a score. Good for you and keep your streak going.
