Anyone else notice he's a gelding now? Ah, the fate of a rabbit... (and to think, Bandini isn't even back yet...)

Damn ... was just wondering what had happened to him. Well, here's hoping for good luck. Maybe he'll turn into a top ranked sprinter this year.

I've noticed he's been posting some very fast workout times, and I've heard good things.

Well, he won yesterday. Good for him.
Don't know why he was scratched from the earlier race.
Good to see them running him at the appropriate distance.

Good to see him back At least it's evident that he can still win, and even if he doesn't progress to the higher levels he has a niche
