There was a four race break between the prior dirt race and a lot can happen in that amount of time, but the first three dirt races were all speed. In fact, horses trying to close couldn't gain an inch. Majestic Warrior put together a very fast final 3/8s to run down the loose leaders and the 2YOs ended up running an identical time to the older allowance horses in Race 4. The older horses also went faster to the half.
This horse will get better with distance and I think the effort was definitely inspiring.

he may well get better with distance but compared to say Afleet Alex a couple years back I dont think this was anything special.
readys image came home in 13 3/5ths! just about any stake horse is going to get run down sprinting in that case. The winner may well be a good horse as time and distance increase as he flew home but the bottom line is he would have been a suck up second had readys image not come to a crawl.
