Interesting information, GPK. It does appear that he's been well cared for by a relatively few connections. One thing I thought remarkable is that El Bomba ran in that race today without front wraps. Maybe it's nothing, but I just thought it was notable that a 13yo in a low-level claimer would be running without fronts. I would think that would be saying something positive about his soundness level.
Anyway, it's a great story, and I'm already looking forward to start #101!
