Dreaming of Anna - 90- Mr. Greeley doesn't have a North American Grade 1 winner this year, but his fee for 2007 has been doubled to $70,000 partly on the strength of the performance of his progeny in the sales ring. The 14-year-old son of Gone West averaged $486,250 at the Saratoga sale and was represented by a $5.7 million colt at the Keeneland September sale. [Bloodhorse]

- The Sprint division is in shambles, so Doug O'Neill will take his Eclipse shot with Thor's Echo, and why not? He'll run him in the Grade 1 Frank J DeFrancis at Laurel on November 25.
"If we can get another Grade 1 in there, they'll have to consider us, that's for sure. We came out of the race good. He's a big, good-looking horse, and the races don't take that much out of him. He's doing really, really well." [Washington Post]Well, O'Neill is forgetting how much the Dubai race took out of him, but why dwell on that? The Sprint was just his third race since then. Two G1 wins to go along with his two G2 seconds just might do the trick, you think?

he is on top the TBA sprint division standings. and that's without counting his Dubai 2nd.
I would like to see some sort of numbers about the horses that return to racing from the UAE and how effective they are vs. length of layoff. And vice versa... why does the trip to Dubai hurt so bad? Is the same true for trips to Japan?
Speaking of high-priced colts, anyone see/hear of The Green Monkey breaking a sweat anywhere?
