That's two races in a row he's giving ground in the stretch going 2 turns. Maybe he'll like the poly, or find his lungs at Anita. He already gave the horse the best cheater drugs he could get away with. The guy wanted to win a triple crown race in the worst way. He had to get there, and he did. Then, had to race clean in the Derby (fail.) Not like he has another freshen up drug left to try. He either reverts (on his own now) to liking the heavy synthetics, or he'll sprint. This trainer (and his boy Larry) are cheaters. When his 3 year olds had to run clean (in the Derby,) it was another fail in a Big National Race. That supertesting doesn't agree with him. Sadler, Mitchell, n' O'neil are the cheating Moe, Larry, Curly guys out here.

I agree with you about Caracortado having distance limitations. He is most effective up to 1 1/16 miles. He's really up against it when he tries to go further than that.
