Exactly what he did--race him ...
Matz put him in a good spot off the layoff and the horse ran well until he tired at the wire .
No amount of works is a substitute for racing--and we do not have barrier trials in this country .
The horse is also a bit of a head case, and he ran hollow and upheaded .
I like Napravnik on him better than Leparoux also .
No one thinks he is Barbaro's shadow, but he is a quality individual with a few kinks .
I think he is better than you think, but no world beater .
