Agree with this. While traditional prep methods are losing favor, they have been all over the place with this guy.

Didn't this happen before -- where the horse worked extra fast and Mario said he misjudged it because the horse was moving so easy? Or am I thinking of someone else? But if I'm right, it'd be nice to know how the horse did in the next race right after that work.

Oh...yeah. But I meant, didn't it happen before with Hard Spun?

He came out of the work very well. If anything, that work may take some of the edge off him. He's bred to get the distance. Must use. Particularly if we see mud. The closers will be buried in it.

I am worried by a jockey that cant tell how fast he is going. I understand that there are some jocks that are not great in the mornings that are fine in the races but very few of those win the derby
