So I don't know if he will necessarily be that quick from the gate. I would have preferred an outside post just in case he doesn't break that quick.
Anyway, I wouldn't make a big bet on him but I can tell you that he has a lot more ability than you would be able to tell based on his slow works in the Form.

Richi, were you at that sale too? Are you talking about the Wiseman's Ferry colt? Good looking colt... I liked him, but I liked that Johannesburg colt a lot too. He was RNA'd as well.
