Sky Pegasus

[Merlinsky]

How'd he look?

He finished 9th but apparently looked around like nobody's business per the jockey. But he was smart, see. He said 'getting hit in the face with a bunch of dirt is for the birds and if I drop back and conserve myself no dirt! I'm a frickin' genius!' Laurie said she's figuring it's a matter of getting him up to running in 2 turns because Laurel doesn't do 1 1/16 or whatever it was she'd rather enter him in so it might be 7 furlongs next.

He gets a fire under him in company so she's hesitant to do the blinkers thing. Also he's apparently a typical temperamental FuPeg when it comes to exactly what constitutes listening to what people tell him to do.
