I was just talking to my partner Tom Kelly about Attire and how some people are talking about how he is 10 years old and now breaks slowly. I have heard people on TV say he breaks slowly because he has arthritis which our vets don’t agree with. We laughed and remembered Robie Davis saying to us after one of his first races “I didn’t think he was going to come out of there”.
These are the racing comments from his first 4 races as a two year old. You can see that his slow starts are not new but it is his style of racing.
