You know what Klink is all about..Illinois bred $$...But he needs a race and the distance is right so it makes sense. Gas money would be great, a healthy finish needed and it will be a fun summer here with him.

Bob,
Was he banged up in that race @ TB in Feb. or just freshened?

He's just not quick enough to run in those 5F Turf Sprints..plus the layoff and I think he likes artificial surfaces still vs grass. He's fine though, to answer your question.

I only hope I can get 3-1 on Riviera Cocktail.................$$$$$$

He was an underlay for sure but the winner was tough to have.

Didn't bet the race. Agree about the winner but the Barbaro clan just gets bet no matter what.

So he was 5th but 2 lengths behind the winner? Gotta love turf races and how you can be several positions back within just a length. Wasn't one of his attempts to break his maiden a loss to Custom for Carlos? If memory serves, Nic likes to be up front. I realize the family can route all day, but is a turf sprint a bad tune up? Does he just not have enough kick to do that? I guess they want to get him good and tired going long, but there was that thing we talked about before with bringing a horse back in a sprint and how it's less common but viable.
