Essence Hit Man

[Alabama Stakes]

he'll be half a pole in front of those guys

That is a serious layoff? I'd be nervous of a short price.

Would love to see him and Black Hornet hook up this year but he hasn't worked out in a long time.

on the lead with a 46 half...had no chance of hanging on

I disagree. That was a slow half for him. Like Alabama said he should have been leading by half a pole.
He got beat by a good horse, held second, hopefully comes out OK and continues on.

I thought his only shot was winging it and forcing them to come and get him...when he went 46 he was not far enough in front to keep the charging horses from getting to him.
