Wow ... so Munnings improved on his 37 last time out - and surged forward to like a 49?
I know this is a double digit improvment ... but I actually don't think he improved at all.
In fact, if you took a healthy solid open 5K claimer from anywhere, and placed him with rail position while up on a 25 and 50 pace - they will absolutely run a lot better than that.
This is starting to look like another Big Truck waiting to happen.
Big Truck was euthanized on the track, while training, not long after his last race and that splendid 30 Beyer ... he never did complete a single offical workout after that race.
His connections explaining that they weren't going to race him anymore, but were going to use him as stiff competition for Musket Man and Schoolyard Dreams in morning workouts. I suppose they had no maiden claiming fillies.
