I've noticed a trend that horses who work just 1/8th, and in blinkers, are the most dicey when it comes to translating the ability they flashed in a preview, into ability on the racetrack.

There was a story a few weeks back, where one of Pletchers assistant trainers talked about the horse as though he might really struggle to win a major circuit maiden race--off of how he's trained.

That could be a crafty method of damage control. They bring the horse back, he wins a race or two, then they pat themselves on the back for the "miracle" of getting the horse in the winner's circle.

Yeah---Pletcher possibly did a sneaky good job of lowering the expectations as far as possible with the quotes that came from his asst. in that article.
