he outran my expectations of him today.
It was a horrid Gold Cup. Rail Trip got an easy lead trip while clear of the runaway false pace. However, he made it through the distance.
When i first saw Rail Trip my opinion was that it was a horse Valdivia had been getting on in the morning, conditioning it to certain things, good speed, but he'd probably quit against any kind of pace or distance.
good for him. Now he's on the vulture list
