It is pretty odd that Hollendorfer(claimed him for like 40k) could get absolutely nothing from American Memories,but this new guy wins with him 1st off the claim.They kept him covered up behind traffic,and made a run late(same as his Anita win.)Hollendorfer kept trying for speed with him,and he stopped like he got shot in the neck.American Memories is a weird dude.I think he can go back up the ladder,but that is a really tricky horse to figure out.It is obvious that he can go full speed for a furlong and a half,and for sure he needs to be covered up until then.Valid Again is a different story.I don't think he can go back up.He needs slow horses,and/or a break(which they won't give him now that he ran a fast-closing 2nd.)
