Richard's Kid to go to Dubai World Cup?

Postby Bearsy » Thu Nov 29, 2012 8:16 am

That is the long-term goal according to O'Neill.
My question is... why? The horse hasn't won a Grade 1 since 2010. He's already been over there and didn't do well. In the last year he's won an ungraded stakes and a grade 3.

I remember when our best was sent to race against the best over there.

I assume because he has the same travel agent as Lava Man--misguided owners.

Since Drug O'Neill won two thirds of the Triple Crown he feels invincible and can win any race regardless of the horse.

Do you think it has something to do with the change in surface from dirt to Tapeta?

How does Richards Kid compare to Lava Man?
He doesn't. Lava Man was a really good horse who couldn't ship anywhere except across town (as ONE learned over the course of his career).
Richard's Kid isn't in the same area code as Lava Man.

Good stuff. Fan fiction combined w/ a dash of hyperbole.

This post along with your recent remarks regarding Rafael Bejarano reminds me of the last time you went off the rails:

I can't say that I have ever been at a loss of words or opinions Mr. Wu. ;)
