To date, BBBG has won 4 races (3 stakes races) and most recently was the easiest of winners at Golden Gate in the Golden Bear stakes race.

 "That race at Golden Gate served as a nice prep. He couldn't lose that race and he was geared down the last 16th of a mile. We were gonna work him that week, but instead ran him to get a paid workout. He couldn't be more ready for the race in Florida." said a confident Peter Miller, trainer.

BBBG will face some tough competition as he tries for his biggest win of his career. In his way from California will be the Jeff Mullins trained Gato Go Win, a recent winner of an allowance race at Santa Anita as he defeated 4 rivals in easy fashion. The Florida horses seem to be an easier group, but You Luckie Mann had run back to back triple digit beyer figures until his most recent race when he was humbled by a Wesley Ward trained colt that won a stakes race by 10 lengths.

"This colt can be anykind. We look forward to the challenge and are very excited to be competeing in Florida. I have my cigars and bowling shirt ready to go. I just need a picture to go with it when I come home." said team member and self proclaimed "King of the 10cent supers" Mark "The Godfather" Wayman from his Oklahoma estate.

 Team organizer, Sean Gerson, has got the troops ready to roll. "I have booked an executive suite at Gulfstream and all the food and beverage that goes with it. I and some team members will be attending the Eclipse Awards while we are there and that is all setup as well. My job is done. It is now up to our fearless leader Pete to bring this horse home.

BBBG will be ridden by Robbie Albarado, the "greatest jockey on US soil", according to Florida resident and expert handicapper Scott Shore. "R-O-B-B-I-E! Thats all you need to know. I was going to be out of town with my friends visiting Distinctive Pro at his stud farm in New York, but we decided to stay and get in the picture. I know this track like it was my backyard and I know these horses like they were my children. BBBG is head and shoulders class over these and he can only beat himself."

 An interested onlooker will be the folks at Darley as they have been very interested in puchasing this 3 year old colt, but have been in a bidding war with the Irish at Coolmore. If BBBG wins in Florida, he could be headed to Dubai to prep for the Kentucky Derby while the Gerson Racing team will be headed to the BANK!!!
