Impressive to get back into it but didn't see anything that would produce the effort we saw today even given Duggan adding Blinks. Not like that is a lights out move for him. You'd have to forgive a lot I guess and think the Blinks were going to do it.

Missed the break and then right after had to grab him again as the other hoss who got left dropped over on him. The guy on TVG said he did a little work to find out about the sire, who he said was a poly track guy, but had run twice on dirt showing high speed and running a 104 beyer first time. Combining that dirt fact and the blinkers and the way track has been playing might have been enough to get in to him
