Yeah considering the length of layoff, the colic surgery, the fact that he wasn't made 100% for this anyway and the surface not being the one they wanted I figured he tried pretty hard and anything better than what he did would've been unexpected. Wasn't he 4th choice? Something like that. Could've sworn there was some other physical problem last year.
I have a sneaking suspicion that if we had a 4 horse race with Wilko, Funny Cide, Evening Attire, and Perfect Drift, they'd all find a way to dead heat for second. I love rooting for them though. If he won the Santa Anita Handicap I'd be ecstatic for his lil hard tryin' self.
