Aside from the dq, how did Buffum look? I missed the race....the chart seemed to indicate that he struggled..that he did not look nearly as good as in his last. Thanks.

NYRA.com has free replays of all races that they run.

But the chart was right, he looked a lot better last time than he did today.

Thanks! I wonder if he is more of a sprinter than a miler.....

Which speaks directly to the question raised as to why not a more ambitious spot after the big effort last time.

Where would you have run him? I thought this spot was fine assuming they wanted to stretch him out....though he did break his maiden at a mile. Rick Metee always sounds very measured and nor overly enthusiastic when talking about Buffum. It sounds like Jerkens might want to keep Bold Warrior sprinting as well despite his pedigree

The only thing that raced proved clearly was that David Cohen should be riding at Fairplex.

I don't care where they run Buffum. The question/issue was that if he had exited the Saratoga race suitably, you would think the next step would have been something more ambitious.

Um I did not say you cared or should and I understood your point very well even though I do not agree...Obviously they wanted to stretch him out. Actually, their initial plan was to run him in a stakes at Parx against older PA bred. I can not think of a spot they could have run him in instead...the King s Bishop was never an option, and rightly so
