I just watched all 3 of his races, I haven't seen him do much wrong so far!

He's also beaten less than nobody.

His last win was a bias enhanced joke, much like Magna Graduate's phony Queen's County win and Johanesburg Star's fake maiden win, but not having his pps available I can't comment on the other races.

He may be OK but he has a dressed up look based on, at least, his last win. However, without all the pps in front of us it's hard to have any kind of objective opinion.

Yeah, that's the hardest part about judging the quality of younger horses, most of the time they're facing questionable competition leading up to the bigger races.

Appreciate info on Lawrence the Roman. Unaware of biases he has used to his advantage in past couple races. Also agree that Summer Doldrums is an include on tickets as well. Allowance score impressive and actually was my top pick in Pink Viper win although connections scratch. My worry is did allowance get to bottom of him that day or is he devloping rapidly. Either way he must duplicate form but it is possible

Summer Doldrums is sharp as a tack right now. But Prado coming up to ride LTR is intriguing. Not sure LTR used bias in first two starts but definately used it his last. Should be interesting race for Aqu Inner at this time

Who's this Johannesburg Star you speak of? Will I be hearing about him again next week?
