Takes a lot to be good horse. Casse said on ATR's he will get blinkers in next start. Let's hope its the solution to the problem or even if there is a problem. Totally possible it was a one off, I wouldnt bet on that being the case, but you never know.

Colt was doomed after my buddy Ed DeRosa tweeted he was the next TC winner, Ed was being cheeky.

Let's hope he isnt a Tap it Out lost cause. Guess all PoTN colts arent sweet pets after all

He propped because of that other starting gate that was lined up against the fence. Should not have been stationed there.

I guess.. The other horses didnt seem to mind the misplaced gate. Promising colt lets see him get past this, hopefully connects figure it out..It could be something serious or something that never shows up again?? I will root for him in next start but from a wagering point of view I wouldnt ever bet/use him next out. That whole "he is too smart" jargon is theoretic nonsense.

Horses are individuals. Does every horse balk behind the gate when loading? By your reasoning, if one does, all should.

Casse, who after re-watching the race agrees that the gate was the culprit, told me this morning that Classic Empire worked in blinkers and went super.
