The latter is my #1 so far. Mullins is shipping his colt to the Gotham (G.3) next weekend to avoid PIONEER.<BR/><BR/>FRIESAN FIRE's in a good place, winner of two graded stakes. He'll run in the LA Derby in under two weeks, doesn't need to win, just run a solid 2nd. He'll need to peak in Kentucky. These last two races will be designed to get him there cycling up.<BR/><BR/>DUNKIRK in your top 5 is deserving, if only for potential. But his siblings are nothing of note. Who'd you think he was related to?<BR/><BR/>His dam was a millionaire and winner of the Kentucky Oaks and Mother Goose...she was a full sister to ALUMNI HALL, a two time G.3 winner of over $747k.<BR/><BR/>RE: OLD FASHIONED...he hasn't looked any good horses in the eye but the fact he ran on chasing fast splits indicates he's moving the right direttion. He needs to post a fast final time, something in the 1:42 3/5 or less range or he'll be susceptible to speedy QUALITY ROAD or THE PAMPLEMOUSSE should they make to Louisville.<BR/><BR/>Check out my blog if you have a chance (http://amateurcapper.blogspot.com/)Amateurcapperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10982902236844905767noreply@blogger.com
