But yeah, he did get incredibly sweet trips in those two races, over a real funky track both times. I have a hunch that trainers hop will work anywhere, I'm just not so sure how authentic those last two races really were

I see way too many big ( or relatively big ) figs from Mountaineer that never seem to translate to other tracks ( it's like Delaware on speed ). However, that horse ran some legitimately fast races last year. I think at 6F he may be genuinely good. I am skeptical about him going further. He looked strong as they headed for home in the Woody Stephens ( used to be the Riva Ridge ) and came up empty in the last furlong.
