I really really love Union Rag's. I was watching when he broke his maiden and have seen his two races since and he ran differently in each race, what versatility. I haven't been on a horse this heavy since Hard Spun. He has a ton of talent, can run from anywhere and man is he a looker. Gorgeous horse. I look forward to his BC race and the TC events in the spring, cause I think he is gonna be the headliner on Derby day.
