This colt looks excellent training over the cushion track at Hollywood Park. He's got higher knee action...

I won't be tossing him as I originally planned to.

I'm pretty sure he will be disgusted and be dull if the pace is moderate.On the other hand, if they give him a sharp pace,he will look totally different out there(his stride will look great,and he will be ready to make a run towards the front.) When they go into the turn,if he is within 5 lengths of the lead,then he usually won't run well(the reason he ran reasonably well last time was the pace was decent,not hot,but decent..he wanted it hotter..Nakatani didn't oblige him.).If he is 7 or 8 lengths out of the lead,then the pace is probably pretty good ,and he has a chance to make the board.If he is like 10-15 lengths back,and they are running a 22'3 or something,then G haterz beware.

No thanks. I was checking his Beyers (cause Rags and **** are too expensive) and it looks like he's due for a regression off his last.

No regression with him, I haven't been his biggest fan, but there's no reason he can't be 2 if it's white hot, 3rd mildly hot, or 4th off of an avg pace...I see a very hot pace and think he could run 2nd, he likes the track and distance...

Only ITM 50% (2 of 4 at 10f) and honestly I just dont put much into his effort at CD because that race was just too ****ed up with Chestnut going 45 1/5, 1:09 2/5 early...
