As I've said in prior posts, Johar was one of those horses that just always seemed to run to the level he was facing. Personally, I think it was the jockey, but who really knows these things unless they are around the horse day in and day out.

Oh, and his San Marcos win in 157.4 for 10f was a pretty damn good race, as was his Oak Tree Derby win in 146. I really don't care that his races got low figs, since those figs make even less sense for turf than they do for dirt.
