Championship Bout -- Confederate vs. It's My Show

[Fuguzzi]

Is there really much talent in this field but the top 2

I see Confederate able to float pretty well and get midpack spot. Tetrick may have to activate him earlier than usual but Its My Show has shown a propensity to tire late. Its a wicked turn of speed and have we even seen Confederates best yet

I didn't know I had a twin on here. I, fingers crossed, am with you a thousand percent. Others on here will differ, but that's why it's horseracing!

Appreciate your words very much. Always happy to reminisce about the old days and the hard knocking overnight horses that gave so much to us week after week. Please stay in touch.

Cog in the wheel for both, 1- I think is Blue Hunt trying to make a statement which I don’t believe he’s capable. 2 there’s a lot of poor horses in between IMS & Confed so they could force one or both of them to be over used before TT or SZ want to

Yeah this is a tough one to pre-plan in your mind. someone in between is gonna try something unexpected.

You might get a similar result as this one from 1978: Seattle Slew vs. Affirmed, 2 triple crown champions battling it out:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNjPPoLdAdM

I’ll be curious to see who picks up the drive on Blue Hunt. And you got McNair in the 2 hole. He’s been known to screw up a race or 2

If they are both at their best, Confederate wins.

Like Instrument Landing and Rambling Storm

Rock hard ten - Croghan/Morril Jr. - shipped out to Northfield and ctushed in the battle of lake erie at a huge price. That horse was a ferocious closer at the Big M. Caught him at double digits from the 10 hole. Last, 5th over top of the stretch. Morrill jr. moved in and out twice like bumper cars and got up on the wire. Super exciting rally.

BJ's Whirlwind - Slugger McIntosh

To me, it doesn't matter how the race plays out. Confederate's nose will be the first to touch the wire. But would have like to seen Cannibal in the mix.

I think Confederate will float and try to find a spot mid pack. He gets a little lazy on the lead and tetrick will want his best against it’s my show. I’m looking for Timmy to wait and then at the 5/8s give him clear race track and blast. No one has shown they can go with him or withstand him yet. If he gets a reasonable trip I don’t think it’s my show will be able to hold him off. And nothing against it’s my show but tetrick lost the North America cup, not confederate.

Up early and loading up to head down there..Keeneland first two days. My bold call is..Toss It's My Show..off the board.

[Parked]

Just think if they still raced to win 2 races..  2 or maybe 3 heats.  Thats how we are shown the real race horse.  And.   For the most part, the yogurt has worn off….

Well, then we can key Confederate over the rest of the field, even at 2-5 and we would still get a decent triple.
