This horse showed a great deal of talent last year and tomorrow's race definitely is make or break.

To me, TW was clearly the best and most exciting colt from this entire crop. I actually saw video on one of his works prior to his comeback though, and thought he might not be the same. It was an early work though, so foolishly I thought he'd do okay in his comeback.
The impression I got while watching that race, well, it reminded me of Lady's Secret, back when she was making her last comeback. She looked like she was miserable out there on the track, and really didn't want to race anymore.
So, to me, it wasn't an issue of fitness. My guess was that he was in discomfort from running, or he was just mentally fighting being out there. Or maybe he really was having a bad allergic reaction to something.
Despite how people are taking my posts about him, I really do hope he comes back and runs to my earlier expectations of him. I'm a huge fan of his grandsire, cees tizzy, who was possibly one of the most unheralded talents ever!
