Then he continued to get great setup, after great setup before coming home east and losing the Kelso BC Mile...Did he really improve that much out West or did he just beat up on crap out there???

He "slayed the dragon" as a noted racecaller who frequents this site said in the Charlie Whittingham then he ran really well in the Eddie Read and Del Mar Handicap while accumulating wins at distances ranging from 8.5 to 11 furlongs. His trip in the Kelso could have been better as he was extremely wide coming off the turn and still finished up pretty well even with the pace collapse.
It's not a redboard but I had a future on Courageous Cat this year thinking that he might have a great transcendental experience heading west like his bro After Market. That and I thought Dominguez rode him like s.hit in the Jamaica.
I was a tad excited at the top of the stretch but piped down when I saw Goldikova in high gear.
