His time for the 8.5 furlongs was 1:44.57. The other race run at that distance at GG yesterday was won by a rather average n2x horse entered for a tag in 1:44.18 (and that one was carrying more weight than Yankee Bravo).

That should be enough to end the discussion .........

Good points, but if they ever get him to come out of the gate straight and without a hop, skip and a jump he'll get to the wire a little faster. And maybe not have to navigate as much traffic.

Seriously, check calracing.com and his breaks in the two races up there are nearly identically bad.

He will never break well with that sack of bricks in the saddle.

It's a negative,but the fact he likes the horse (so much) means the old woman will ride confidently.He has saved ground twice with this horse.Not taking him wide like almost every other horse he rides in the stretch.That's a lot of confidence in the horse's late run.
