Three races later ... going the same 5.5f distance - African King went 22 flat - 45 3/5 - and won a 38K alw race with Cohen in 1:04.60
African King is a pretty damn honest horse - now 9 career dirt starts with 7 wins and 2 seconds.
I'm sure Sheets guys would say that the 6 or 7 weeks rest your horse had between starts is the reason for the big top he'll get .. and he's sure to bounce next time if he runs back on short rest.
However, I think the most important thing to take out of it all is .... BET AGAINST AFRICAN KING NEXT TIME HE RUNS! |
Freddy, a real positive sign for your horse happened this week.
Not only did he almost run as fast as stakes quality African King in the last race ... but the horse who went out early and dueled on the lead with him and was disposed of - he came back and totally dominated a 12 horse field at Laurel by 4.5 lengths and paid $57.80 to win.
