He is confusing me.I would like him to look a little more relaxed early on,but you're right.He came home fast.Georgie flew.He has a big beautiful stride,but he got beat because Georgie has a much quicker stride.It came down to acceleration.When a horse gets 1st crack at taking the lead (on a relatively slow pace,)and then gets beat,it would seem he is getting tired. Especially,since Georgie didn't change leads.I think he did get a little tired,but not as much as when I saw it live.It was more a case of Georgie running huge.To me,Gayego has the best stride of all the 3 year olds.With that stride,he is still dangerous.He looked like he got a lil tired late,and came out some.If he can improve his stamina,he will look like some very nice big striding grinders (Tiznow etc.)It's a big if.He look tired to you? I think they all did(except Georgie.)I have access to the head-on of the start,and Gayego is a lil' too keen.They need to get him to relax a lil more.He is pulling a lil bit early on.Let's face it,this is an o.k. trainer,but not a great one.They need to get him to relax better.I don't have a head-on of the stretch finish.Does he lug out,or is Mike trying to intimidate a lil bit? Smith said he wouldn't swap his horse's talent for anybody else's.He just wasn't sure he could 2 turn until he did it.That bothers me a lil.I mean he works him(a horse with that big a stride,)and isn't sure he would 2 turn.I wonder if he would swap now(FOR GEORGIE'S Talent.) Maybe I am a lil too critical of Gayego.I guess I expect a horse that moves that well to win every race.
