If you know me at all, and if you have read these pages of words over the past couple of years, you know how this pains me to write this morning. The best way to describe it is as if you had to swallow just a bit of the acid reflux debris that hit you in the middle of the night because you have forgotten to take your Nexium.
Yuk. Ugh. Gag. Spit.
Rense. Repeat.
But the best horse in the world, right now, just may be the 3-year-old colt named Muth. And, if I was ever asked to opine on such a thing and give a vote for the prestigious Breeders’ Cup poll for this year’s Breeders’ Cup Classic? I would vote for Muth. Right now.
Over the next couple of months, Muth may just prove to the Breeders’ Cup “chosen voters” and the racing world why he should be considered a serious contender.

Muth set for California Crown after comeback win
USA: Star three-year-old colt Muth will grab the Santa Anita route to a probable Breeders’ Cup Classic tilt after returning to activity following a five-month layoff with a solid stakes victory at Del Mar on Saturday [August 31].
Trainer Bob Baffert nominated the $1m California Crown (formerly Wonderful Again) on September 28 for the son of Good Magic after he had won the Shared Belief Stakes by two lengths. “One step at a time, baby steps,” said Baffert, adding: “He’s always been a very smart horse.”
The Arkansas Derby winner had been on the sidelines since being scratched from the Preakness Stakes when he spiked a fever. At the time, he was favourite for the second leg of the Triple Crown. More here

News
A grade one winner at two and three, Muth is an exceptional son of Champion Two-Year-Old and outstanding young classic sire, Good Magic, himself the leadng stallion son of Curlin.
Good Magic has been very good with mares from the Storm Cat line. Muth does have a cross of Storm Cat, but that will be in the fifth generation of his foals allowing him to be bred back to mares from that line. Good Magic has graded winner How Did He Do That out of a mare by Storm Cat himself. His graded stakes winner Reincarnate is out of a mare by Scat Daddy (by Johannesburg, who is particularly interesting as he is closely related to Tale of the Cat, the sire of the granddam of Muth). Johannesburg is a son of Hennessy, also sire of Henny Hughes– himself broodmare sire of a graded winner by a son of Curlin. In addition, Good Magic’s graded winner Dubyuhnell is out of a mare by Forest Wildcat (sire of Wildcat Heir and D’Wildcat); there are two Good Magic stakes winners out of mares by Harlan’s Holiday (sire of Into Mischief, Majesticperfection and Shanghai Bobby); and a stakes winner out of a mare by Tale of Ekati (sire of Girvin, and a son of Tale of the Cat
