[Bobby Fischer]

You guys are correct on this "poor start", but I think I didn't use the right choice of words. When I say "poor start" here, I am saying the same thing. He did not show speed, and I didn't mean to imply that he hit the gate or stumbled or any such reason(excuse?) for a slow break. For whatever reason, he didn't show speed, and going into the first turn he had no position. He was then caught wide and either last or near the back on the first turn.
I can see on the replay that once Alaazo starts making headway and how easily he does it, and the manner in which he does it, that he is by far much the best in that race. And Separate from the race he shows that there is a potential that he is a very good horse as an individual. Whenever you see a horse make headway like that and finish like that, and appear to look as good an animal as that - you have to take note. A Monmouth replay isn't exactly the easiest thing in the world to see, and the race could have been filled with terrible horses... That doesn't tell you a whole lot. All I know is that there is some potential for a special horse. And then we have this layoff for five months... No public specified reason to my knowledge (and google). The horse could be better or worse from whatever he did or did not show 5 months ago...
