Speed and the rail were not good yesterday at TP, which is why I thought I was watching a pretty good 2 yr old, when he shook clear yesterday.. that is until Hernandez started "experimenting".
And yes, it was strange to bolt left when being hit left-handed, but that is exactly what happened. It's as if the horse was shocked by that, and that's why it was all the more ridiculous that he (Hernandez) did it again.
