Title: BB final work for Haskell

Does this look like a horse with sound feet?
Do you believe Dutrow?

Maybe they want to try him in the Arc....seriously, I might have aired him on the grass if he were my horse...I don\'t see anything wrong with the approach.

I like that - good idea imo , too bad they couldn\'t spot him in a race over the turf course at Kentucky Downs later in the season , then go to the Arc ( or BC turf mile ) from there ...

IMO, he looked like a potential super freak in his debut on turf. I\'d love to see him on turf again. Strategically though, I don\'t see how they can fit a major turf race in. Assuming he comes back well and wins impressively enough Sunday to even bother going on, you would think the BC Classic would be the next major objective (with one race in between). He\'s already proven he can handle turf. So that makes it more likely he can handle whichever artificial surface they are using out there (Pro Ride?). Might as well go for Horse of the Year. I think it\'s all matter of whether he comes back as a great colt, medicore colt good enough to handle the Haskell field, or dud.

This horse will bury the Haskell field.

I wouldn\'t want you to go out on a limb, ALM.

I think Cool Coal Man has a real shot today.
