As I mentioned yesterday, there is a wacky backstory with this horse. Vets said he wouldn't make the races and he was gelded and given away as a pony. McPeek went to the client who had the horse last year and wanted to know what happened to him and was told that they had given him away. McPeek said to get him back and they did. Now you'll see him in the Fountain of Youth. You can't make this stuff up.

I thought San Pablo ran a huge race, and will definitely be one to watch going forward.
