No. I didn't think he was a key horse.. I had him 4th. I liked him as an inclusion because he had shown some talent.. especially in that bizarre race where he was awarded the win.. I respect Shirreffs immensely and had read that he felt he had made some changes with the colt that were going affect him positively.. He is a Pleasant Tap who like added distance and I thought he had a chance to clunk up for third or fourth.
My error was excluding Roxy who couldn't get 9f on a flatbed and having any confidence in one of Hollendorfer's NoCal no-account Derby hopefuls. Cause to Believe.. Eye of the Tiger.. they're all the same. (Except Event of the Year who was a real horse..)
