Let's critique performances without getting defensive, that's what we are here for, to learn and discuss.

I don't understand the love affair with this horse. It's that bogus SPEED number thing. When he gets a speed favoring track and no pace pressure he wins. And he even runs fast doing. So what? Pressure him a bit or put him on a fair track against horses and he folds like a punk. Like last night, losing to horse I'd had a tough time remembering (assuming I'd heard from them, that is).
We'll get NYRA to massage a track for him real soon. He'll be back.
