RE:REDRUMByhi, after we sold Treaty Creek at auction as a yearling, he was renamed by his new owners "Modern Cruiser." He had a high turn of speed and was promising and I believe earned in the mid five figures but the horse was a major disappointment due to a chronic injury. I believe he is now washed up. The horse was a pacer. I know nothing about thoroughbreds (or mining stocks, apparently.)
My friend who is a thoroughbred fan likes American Pharoah in the Kentucky Derby. He is one of the favorites along with Dortmond (phonetic spelling) and a couple of others. Anything can happen.
*The usual "Hornby Disclaimer" goes for that Kentucky Derby pick :)
