He can if he defeats Flightline. I think Vic is right, it's a very big IF. But it should be out there as a possibility.

Bringing him back in 2 months I believe is his fastest turn around ever. I wonder what is going on.

He runs so fast, he goes into the future at least 2 months.

Epicenter, Life is Good, Olympiad, and Flightline would all be HOY with a Classic win. Country Grammer and Rich Strike could maybe win with a a Classic win, depending on what else happens in that race and others.

Agree with your first sentence, not so much the other two.

But if Richie were to pull another shocker, he'd be the People's Choice.

how can any horse be HOY after 2 races?

lets see him win the classic.

just another hot house hoss.
