He does have a good running style for poly. Hes a slow crow. Any east Coast open 50 claimer can win a Graded stake in California.

He's been beaten by Throng on both the dirt and the polytrack at Keeneland.

Congrats to whoever had him....he wasn't for me.

His owners sold him. Even they had given up on him. This is more hilarious by the second.

Hes not for anybody who handicaps fast horses, because hes not a fast horse. Hes a mediocre plodder with no kick. He rolls up along Lava Man like hes Arazi.

Gem ran well, its just disheartening to see horses like Student Council win grade 1 races. The only thing worse would have been if Juice Boat won
