YOu still really arent laboring under the delusion that if the kid only opened him up say by, a completely moronic 10 lengths as opposed to an incredibly moronic 17 lengths, that he was really going to beat Kip are you? I guess a lack of understanding of pace and energy expended would be expected by a guy not following the game real long.
Trust me, they want no part of Kip in that spot.

I still can't help but think that this is one of those free-running horses that if you tried to kindly rate him that he would go very rank on you....I don't know, man...I've seen three of his races prior to Dutrow getting him and I'm just not sure if he will rate and still be effective...he is a free-running horses that wants it his own way....the jock usually is best served to just be a passenger - literrally and let the horse do his thing on these types...these kind of horses are rare but look at his past form...he likes to run like this....
I think any crafty attempt at Prado or anyone trying to strangle him down will have an adverse effect on his performance....just my opinion.....I say Dutrow sends him again and says "come and catch me if you can" - especially if Showing Up isn't in the field...I really do....And I also think that at least one rider will go afte him down the backstretch....these guys can't be dumb enough not to the second time around...fool me once, shame on you...fool me twice, shame on me - the classic old cliche'
