Fair enough.
Some times I knock a horse for having relatively clean trips but horses that consistently do that often have a reason for that. In Epicenter’s case, he has good early speed and can generally put himself in good position to work out a clean trip. So maybe I shouldn’t be so dismissive of him. All his figures are trending up as well…so there is a lot to like about him.
I may be talking myself into him, at least for place/show.
