Best brothers and sisters EVER. I have been very fortunate to have made a great deal of money off Michael Tabor owned horses, and I dig the guy, and Mendelssohn is a kick ass horse. Fuck the UAE, personally I really did not give a shit how he ran that day, race was a nothing to me. The fact that he killed that field made me chuckle. He is an amazing horse. Tabor knows a quality horse, trains them properly, and treats them like kings. The little bookie Tabor off the street is ultra sharp.
