In Value Plus's 12 lifetime starts away from Gulfstream Park ... his career best Beyer was a 96 which came when 5th beaten 7 3/4 lengths at 55/1 behind Purge in the Cigar Mile.
He did run four good races at GP though - including a 2nd place finish in the slowest Florida Derby ever.
I'm skeptical about him ... but he was a 7 figure Jan yearling ... and had speed and all that.
Consolidator's won't need added ground. They look like pure smoke. Two of them turned in joint sales fastest 9.60 1/8ths at OBS Feb. Another joint fastest 20.40 quarter at OBS March. The one that sold for 300K at Barretts with the 2nd fastest quarter of the sale was out of a Deputy Commander mare that couldn't crack a 25 Beyer and couldn't get within 10 lengths of the lead after a quarter in any races. He's this years Anti-Saarland. I can't imagine him doing anything impressive cause these mares he's getting seem to be pure garbage ... but for betting purposes I like him in the early season races.
