one man
one man's trash...
He didn't look so bad in the N.Diver IMO.
Those artificial stakes in California can be pretty wild. Those horses are pumped up and the dynamics and pedigree is a little different.
Every horse save Wanna Bummer was basically competive on paper.
I thought the race was entertaining and interesting, but it wasn't exactly a classic style race.
I am not saying Ravel did great. He didn't compete for the win, and he did get swallowed up turning for home as 7 horses lined up across the cushion track.
However, physically he looked like a nice horse all the way around. He finished willingly going from 7th to 4th in the stretch.
He still looks like a nice horse to me. I would love to see him run on dirt for the rest of his career. He looks like he gets 9 furlongs no problem, and has some talent. You can make some money on the east coast with that skill set.
No one wants Ravel at 1.2-1. No value.
