I think we rushed him into his first race a bit. He didnt get his gate card till 3 days out and i kind of think his mind was fried a little bit about the gate. Ive never seen a horse so slow out of the gate. We had to regroup and did some hind end work on him and he seemed to pick up his training a bit. The biggest factor today was that the competition wanted no part of the distance. Hopefully this is a step in the right direction for him. I know the final time was horrible but they still gave us the money!!!
