He was terrible that race. Not sure what you want me to see.

I agree that he can be a very good horse though.

Lets agree to disagree. He was 4,5,6 wide every step pressing a 44 half 2nd career start. Far from ideal trip.

Sounds good. I went on him that race because of the "they have to know" $$ angle and got killed, so it's possible I'm jaded. I just can't see anything the horse did that race that looked remotely positive.

Agreed that he is a talented runner, but a layoff of this magnitude is rarely ever a good thing.

I hope we see him again soon.

He ran well in the Haskell but Exagerator was the best that day

Not so sure. RHT might be right about that one. It's at least close.

Ya I rewatched the race. Freedom did run huge race but still feel exaggerator was best in that race as he was in a lot of slop fests. Hoping freedom comes back strong

He could. You would have to think they want to run in the Met Mile.
