They walked the first 6f of that race away - sprinted the final quarter.
Rattlesnake Bridge was a very expensive 2yo in training buy - he brought 400K at the Timonoium Park sale ... his ability to sprint a strong quarter mile doesn't come as a complete surprise.
I don't know what to think of RB yet.
Tapit's one of those weird sires who gets very precocious runners - but he's not a good debut sire - and he's a better route sire than a sprint sire.
Typically Tapit's run blah first out - they often stretch out and very quickly achieve peak form. After about five or six races .. a lot of them get hurt, tail off, or if lucky ... develop very moderately.
