What great news! Great job, Buff and Kim, for bringing him back yet again! Keeping my fingers crossed for a good season!

Lets hope that good OLD Brass Hat doesn't end up like good OLD Wanderin Boy or Star Over the Bay, two other pretty good OLD runners that were raced one too many times. What did the article say about Wanderin Boy, "his legs just gave out", Hmmmmmmm, Brass Hat has had previous injuries and so did good OLD Wanderin Boy. Pray real hard when this one runs again, it could very well be the last time you see him again, alive. Second of June, Eight Belles, Barbaro, George Washington, Pine Island, and the list unfortunately goes on and on and on. The horses SHOULD come first, not the fans or the betting public, but the horses.

I had the opportunity to meet both Buff & Brass Hat last year. In just that one day it was obvious that Buff cares very much about his horses, and I have no doubt that Brass would not be back unless he was 100% sound and ready too. Good luck to Brass this year!

I am sad to see Brass Hat racing again. The poor guy has recovered through so much. I don't want to be looking at pictues of him this year in some memory wall because he was euthanized for breaking down. BUt anyways thats bot what this post is about. I think that it is interesting that Brass shares some of the same lineage as John. John was a sturdier horse, but they both have that same desire to keep coming back and not giving up. It is a shame when some horses are guilded. But who woulda thought?

The Bradley's have done a wonderful job managing Brass Hat's career. Buff's wife Kim deserves some acknowledgment for her role in bringing Brass back to the races. Kim has rehabbed Brass at the family farm in Ky. during each of his layoffs. Brass is not just a racehorse but a member of the family. Best of luck to Brass Hat and the Bradley's in 09.

I was glad to read of Brass Hat's return to racing this year. I wish him the best and will be following his races. It's good to see older horses racing even if they are geldings. Also I hope Better Talk who also may be coming back does well.

I love Dynaformer and Kris S- I hope Rock Hard Ten will prove a successful sire to carry that line on.

This one strikes a personal chord for me as I am a huge fan of the Kris S. line. I have been following Brass Hat since his three year old campaign. He's a nice little horse and it is nice to have him back for some more racing. I love the column in general, but this one in particular!

so let me get this strait, you're tying Brass Hat together with John Henry and they're actually from the SAME FAMILY? Wow, thats awesome.

Yeah ROBERTO! Lets see more of that Turn-To blood. My fave is Dynaformer but Kris S is awesome too with 5 Breeders Cup winners.

Looking forward to seeing him back. Thanks for the analysis. Hopefully he can give us a few more exciting moments in 2009.
