Congrats to the connections of Firenze Fire. That was some job by a very talented trainer. Obviously, an immensely talented emerging ever-improving talent that runs off the screen. In the 11th race of his career, this horse just improved about 11 lengths, NOW THAT IS TRAINING. A VERY generous 7.50 payoff to boot. The future is bright as connections believe his best distance will be 7 furlongs. I am excited to see him in the future!

17 point jump? Not bad!

Logical progression as the colt was a major G1 winner at Belmont already. We see these things happen with maturing 3-year-olds all the time, they change so much from month to month. Favorite track, best suited around one turn, good freshening off a Classic trail which really gave him an excellent foundation to cutback and be fruitful. I wonder if other trainers will take Jason's lead and use the Classics as a foundation builder in the future? Kudos to Servis, he has campaigned this colt nicely, the 107 was ALWAYS in the making.

When the wagering action on Firenze Fire is coupled with the way that the horse performed for his "hot" trainer, you would like to think that there would be some investigations started.

Nothing to see here.

Think its more likely Jason Servis picks up some helpful new owners that buy him some better "pedigreed" stock. The horses will test clear and the narratives will flow like I have suggested.

Quite the action on FF late.
He entered the gate at 5-1.
His early flashes during the running of the race were 5-1.
He paid $7.50 to win.
