Impressive for sure and the likely favorite for the Del Mar Futurity I’d guess. I hear the white haired guy has another good looking 2YO in the barn named Garth as well.

If he's got it, I don't see it... here's Garth.

Wow... Okay, so Garth is not a race horse. And the players here at the pavilion are claiming Drayden Van Dyke jumped off the horse, Eight Rings, at the start. There's an inquiry and an objection and a lot of grumbling from my players here at the Lake Perris Sports Pavilion.

They have a good one in Europe. Hooper.
Visually Pinatubo’s performance in winning the Goffs Vincent O'Brien National Stakes at the Curragh was stunning. What did Timeform make of it – and rate it?
In our opinion, this is one of those occasions where the performance is certainly as good as it looks. Timeform have given Pinatubo a rating of 134p for his win on Sunday. He went into the race rated 125p, which we pointed out after Goodwood was very high for the time of year for a juvenile, and this shows that he continues to perform well ahead of curve. Horses like George Washington, Dubawi and New Approach won the National Stakes running to marks more like the low 120s, it speaks volumes about Pinatubo’s quality just how far he is rated ahead of the likes of them at this stage.
How does that rating stack up against the star two-year-olds we’ve seen in recent times?
This was a performance right out of the top drawer, and given what went before it at Goodwood, as well as the top-class (131) timefigure, there are fewer concerns about him continuing to reproduce it. In terms of juveniles, it is a performance of rare merit. Frankel ended his juvenile season rated 133p, Xaar, who was a seven-length Dewhurst winner was 132. You have to go back to the likes of Celtic Swing (138) and Arazi (135) to find juvenile performances that we would suggest were superior to what we saw at the Curragh on Sunday.

looks like soft going on the turf. wonder what turf was like in prior runs?
agreed the stretch run was impressive as Pin opened up on a field of what i assume are classy colts.

Thanks, Hoop. Definitely worth keeping an eye on this one. Glad I have him in my Godolphin stable contest.

Running today at Newmarket Race4 10:30am eastern time. Big favorite. Also noticed Dennis Moment had a big workout ahead of the BC.
