We knew how dead the track had been playing to workouts. Harris looked like a stone statue and wasn't even chirping to him as they finished up. The horse was thoroughly and completely on his own and looked to be open galloping. With the track as dead as it was this morning the work easily translates to 59 and change on a regular surface and words just won't do justice to how easily he was moving. Stunning.

Not being a smartass Oracle because I really like your insight, but yesterday these clockers were declaring a filly the best they had seen in 10 years- hours before she ran 3rd in her second race
