Not sure what kind of horses he's up against, but at least there's a full field of 12 in there. He'll be stretching out to a mile, which should be a good thing for him, and hopefully he won't run into any real monsters this time.

With the full field, there could be just a hint of a fair price on this guy.

Probably more wishful thinking than anything.

Well.. looks like he ran 3rd this time... Hopefully nest time will be the charm

Graham took him strangely close to the pace early, then let him drop back closer to where he usually is, and then came on late to grab third.

I didn't understand them keeping him closer to the pace, since he had run two pretty darn good races from off the pace.

Oh well, he'll break through at some point -- probably when they stretch him to 1 1/16

i saw the same thing, broke on the pace, then took back only to come on late. he'll be okay although he kinda has a grinding lumbering style. looks like distance will be kind to him.
