If anyone saw this horse's races in Calder:

did he change leads?

i did not see either, but i will give my opinion on the horse...
i like alot, i like him alot more then the horse who beat him last time out, adore the gold.... i think he has a big time shot saturday, he's actually my pick of the day, love the way he dug down last time out. that was only his 4 lifetime start 3rd in this country, and first at a big time racing venue

Calracing only has his Gulfstream replay available and I'm guessing you already know he didn't switch leads in that one.

i saw the races, but they are very hard to judge as he really didnt face much. Especially the 2nd race there, it was a really weak field in the off going. Each time he had trouble out of the gate and I can assure you that he has any type of gate trouble saturday he is finished. The #1 post is a very tricky post at GP. Especially at the enlongated 7.5 f distance. There is a ton of speed in the race ( Reata's Rocket, Out of Gwedda, even King of the roxy and finallymadeit have a chance of beating him out of the gate )and he is also short on experience. The combination of an inexperienced horse and having the 1 post at GP is very tough.

hard to tell from the online replay but

it appears that he might've been lefty the entire race (not just the turn and stretch)

which would make his effort all the more impressive

Reata's Rocket got a very interesting ride from Douglas last out (i.e. a real DUMBASS ride)

so, in other words, you're not answering my specific question but giving alot of commentary?
