Exactly.
When you have a very talented canadian horse like that, and you have ideas about the Queen's Plate series, you want to
1.gradually stretch him out.
2. get him to rate.- Even if rating means running 24s and 48s and 112s.
3. You want to maybe get him a race on turf.
This was my point about Not Bourbon all along. They just kind of tried to win a decent sprint with him race after race, and never did any of those things.
Even if he is the most talented canadian 3yo, and even if he is able to eventually get 10furlongs, he is being abruptly tested.
he should probably get a layoff or point to 7 furlongs.
(now watch him take home the Can Triple crown
)
