I agree that he was compromised by the break, but he wasn't beating the favorite yesterday, regardless.

My opinion of him is this.... From day 1 they wanted to go long with him. Repole was on Capital Otb Monday, I believe him. Everything he is doing now is on raw talent. Its likely one more race then BC. When he comes back sometime in Jan-Feb thats when I think we see the new horse. I could be wrong, but I just think there is a world of talent bottled up in this guy.

I remember when I used to believe everything owners and trainers said. Then I turned 16.

You're probably confusing talent with jizz.

Let me get this straight: they want to go longer with him but he's still 'fast' enough to be the pacesetter yesterday, and his maiden win. Of course, he didn't really run that fast the 1st split yesterday and the winner was wider and won in hand (real easy). So, it's not like cutting the pace really worked against him. Now, how exactly is going longer supposed to improve this horse?

I know:

once they get him down to GP, he can wire going longer.

I made my first trip to Saratoga the first week in August. I can see why so many of you love the place. It's a very special track and a wonderful experience. I'm so glad I decided to go.

My very special moment came when I got to see Rachel in her stall. I recognized her very distinctive blaze and knew it was her. I'm thrilled I got to see her and especially at that moment. It was cool to see her chilled out in her stall munching on her hay like every other horse that morning.

Oh, and I got to meet Steve B. and Steve H. Not comparable to meeting Rachel but still exciting enough.
