Mucho Macho Man, Will Take Charge Big ‘Cap Showdown Echoes 1988 Rivalry Paulick Report Press Release February 23, 2014 With Mucho Macho Man and Will Take Charge scheduled to clash in the Grade I, $750,000 Santa Anita Handicap on March 8, Jon White points out the similarity to the 1988 renewal of the 1 1/4-mile event. “The year before the ’88 Big ‘Cap, Ferdinand, at four an older horse, nosed out 3-year-old Alysheba in the Breeders’ Cup Classic at Hollywood Park,” White said. “And then they had a rematch in the Big ’Cap. Similarly, in the Breeders’ Cup Classic last year here at Santa Anita, Mucho Macho Man, an older horse (five), won by a nose over Will Take Charge, a 3-year-old. And now they are scheduled to have a rematch in this year’s Big ’Cap.” http://www.paulickreport.com/news/thoroughbred-racing/jon-white-big-cap-showdown-echoes-1987-ferdinand-alysheba-rivalry/#.Uwt1NXrJXG4.twitter

I saw his workout on HRTV. Gosh he's a fluid mover. Got a little rattled at something on the turf course that got his attention and he shied out to the right a bit. No big deal.
