Now I remember. I think Jimmy Toner trains him. It's not easy to get into Maiden Turf races at Gulfstream. He'll probably show up.

Silly racetrack rumor is occasionally right. I'm not sure what this says about the rest of the field but that horse certainly ran OK.
Probably a better bet at 9:2 than a turf horse at 2:1. I clearly need to spend more time on Face Book.

Did he look nice or did his competition dress him up?
I'll go with the latter.

He looked like a million dollar horse in the post parade. I don't bet paddocks or post parades (although i may cancel if a horse looks terrible), but he was so much the best visually it was unbelievable. Aquarian looked very average. I dutched them both and played the race5-race6 double a few times. The Talent that Alaazo showed in his maiden race was in fact real. It was hard to tell from the replay but that is what I said that I thought was evident. The raw times, beyers,bris were a red herring without study of the race replay. The track wasn't as much of a conveyer-belt as it has been recently , and as expected the 8 Atwell set the pace, and not Mambo. Around turn 2 Alaazo got his opportunity and with the 2 shooting a dud , only had to beat the minor contenders. It wasn't a great race and no one here is looking like a star, but at least Alaazo looks like he has some potential to be a 9,10 furlong horse.

Baloney about the fig being a red herring if you watched the race.
The simple fact is that a completely different horse showed up today than ran at Monmouth in August. Overall, his trip was fine. Whatever minor trouble he caused himself early was completely mitigated by the perfect trip he had after that.

I'd like to see how dumpy that broad looks 10 years from now.

Obviously early season 2yo Beyers are tricky - they seem to come back VERY fast in races at distances shorter than six furlongs - and when they run in routes, especially two turn ones, the times always prove much slower than expected.
Top early 2yo's can show short term speed on par with the fastest of elite sprinters. However, the further they go, the more they struggle..at least until late season. However, even with the A. P. Indy - and the Beyer figure that was a 1/20 shot to improve markedly with that time between starts - that horse was still to much of a reach I thought.
