Displacing palate? yeah, ok, sure. So the guy just figured out he needed a tie back or myectomy? Yikes, hes kinda old to have just had that happen.

Asi's WORKS over the SURFACE, meaning polytrack. Like I said, if she goes in the Distaff she gets beat like a drum

CQ, whats his asst trainer gonna say? Did he say that after the race? Or before? What a dumb thing to say, everyone says their horse likes a surface, grass, dirt or the tires, before they actually RUN on it. Works are works, racing is racing. He obviously didn't like it and wasn't striding out like he had previously and ran timid.
