He is a different horse this year. I dont care what kind of fields the horse ran against last year, he had as good a motion as a sprinter as I have seen. Again, on this board, you are only as good as your last race. I cannot completely toss a horse as visually impressive as LITF till his connections clearly state he is done, he is not the same horse, and he never will be. He was just too damn good to toss.

I remember when everyone gave up on Congaree when his 4 year old year started out poorly. I believe a really bad race at 4 at lone star and calls for his retirement started. And he turned out to be a pleasure to watch. He gave us some fantastic efforts.

Not saying will happen the same way with LITF. I just have a habit of not giving up on horses I know have shown brilliance in the past after a bad race.
No excuses. Im just saying this horse was very very good. Im not done.
