It's easy to overhype a horse who's been running strictly in California because of lack of competition. With no other tracks around, unless there's a real monster, until he faces the other top horses back east, you have no idea how he measures up.
Saudi Cup, Dubai, our boy has $17,000,000 to bank back at home before he starts destroying everything in his sight in the USA! Al-Quaeda, ISIL, and now a 4 YO Sovereignty!
exactly my pointthe California media did the same with Zenyatta and California Chrome--time to retire the pom pomsthey did the same with JO Tobin in the 70s and also Flying Pastorthey should be ashamed of themselves
I hope he does well if you read the drf article--he will not be going to Saudi Arabia or Dubai
The California media has been overhyping Baffert's horses forever because they hang on his every word, and he tells them how great he thinks his horses are, so even though Journalism wasn't his horse, this is par for the course for the California media. After Arrogate won his first few starts, Baffert said he's the greatest horse since Secretariat, he never won another race after that.
"Maybe even Dubai, either."We make our predictions, schedules can change, I've made mine. If he doesn't there is always his 5 yo campaign!
Your predictions are almost as bad as John Frank's football picks and they're pretty bad, probably why you like him.
