Regardless of the pace, time, etc. Cool Coal Man and Elysium Fields were standouts and two to be reckoned with.

After watching what you just watched, how can you allow yourself to use the word standout with any of them?

well, i thought cool coal man did everything he needed to do.
as for elysium, considering the bias at that track at that distance, he did VERY well coming out of the nine hole.
also, who out there has proven faster at this point? you don't have to be FAST, just faster than everyone else!

now, let's see what war pass will do...

I think the quarter was wrong. Either way, Court Vision put in a decent run for his first start back. He'll be okay this spring if he moves forward.

Okay for what? Hes certainly not going to beat the top 2 in that race. Not now, not in the Spring, not with a head start, I would venture to say not ever. Its not all bad though, he earned back 35 thousand of that 5 million dollar purchase plodding along.
