But drilling down here, you find his dam Willathewest, has not exactly produced route runners.

On the bright side, she's produced 5 foals all to race and all winners. Unfortunately they've been, by and large, sprinters and is a measly 3 for 24 with Dirt Route runners:


Dirt Sprints: 21.8% $1.69 55-12-6-13

Dirt Routes: 12.5% $1.73 24-3-5-4

It looks to me as though he's going to the lead and won't do nothing but compromise what little chance Fashionable Freddie may have had - but who knows - he may be a freak. He'll be on my ticket.


If I'm looking at a dark horse here, Chovanes maiden breaker last was much better than the beyer he was assigned. A move up off the last would put him in the Tri/Super mix
