Ok, so now I’m really sticking my neck out … what else is new, lol!! With Frankel’s incredible performance recently at the Rowley Mile, and with the incomparable Goldikova still racing at age six (fucking unbelievable), I’m going out on a limb and predicting Canford Cliffs surpassing them both … and establishing himself as the greatest miler in 2011!! I know? What am I thinking, lol … but I wanted to post before he begins his 4 year old campaign tomorrow at Newbury … getting a jump, so I can say, “I told ya so”, before everybody else does, lol!!
