Priceless... Post of the month...

Of course those 10 starts:

a smashing juvenile maiden win,
a victory in an early juvy graded stake,
an 'explainable' loss in the BC Juvy,
a delayed three year old debut win in an N1x,
a win in the Sam Davis,
a win in the Lanes End,
a 'maddening' 2nd in the Derby to an obvious superhorse from an obscure trainer,
a teasingly good Jim Dandy 2nd after an injury layup,
a 'bad trip' 3rd in the Travers,
a career finale JCGC 4th where he comes out with an injury that would keep him sidelined at least 8 months... (best to go to the shed...)
