think that he is the colt of a decade I know that Brush is kind honest a weight carrier and a natural race horse such as is Navarre Navarro Brush can be placed and has the contentious ambition of self When a yearling the colt couldnt couldn't be kept back in oven his walking exercise Ho always had to be a nose perhaps but some ¬ thing in front of his companions Thats Hats the greatness of ambition
