I dunno what the story is here, I really don't.
Todd is not the kind of guy to run a horse where he doesn't belong, even in a big money race. I was kind of surprised when they didn't retire him after the last race he ran.
He trained well up here and there was honestly shock when he ran as poorly as he did.
I guess like I said earlier, perhaps they found something that has been corrected. I notice a gap between his last race and his next workout. Thats usually an indication that a little problem was detected. I'm wondering if he had a problem in his last two races that they didn't detect until after his last race.
If they've fixed it, its not impossible that he could run well here. I don't know about his fitness level, or how much time he actually missed after his last race, but he has to be trining ok for them to make a bold move like this.
I guess we will see when he works down there, I'm sure his works will be highly scrutinized.
