Strong Contender - Holy Cow
Posted: Mon May 07, 2007 5:52 pm
I saw him today at Stonewall.
I don't claim to be an expert and I'm sure those of you with more experience can find some faults that I can't but I was
BLOWN AWAY!
He reminded me of Congaree in terms of raw strength but unlike Congaree his only major flaw I could see was that he is upright on his pasterns. I guess I can forgive that as he was first or second in 5 G1 / G2 races.
I also saw Leriodesanimaux who has matured nicely since last year, Value Plus looks great and has a buzz due to his foals on the ground (warning , so did Budha when his first crop landed), It's No Joke whose best hope may be that he is by DH, and A.P. Warrior who was well balanced with a nice head.
He (Strong Contender) arrived late (March) so his book will probably only be about 90 or so but I think he is a steal at 10K.
I'd love to hear opinions on him from anyone else who has seen him.
