I don't have his PP's anymore but after early success is he becoming a Fairgrounds horse for course? My recollection is his only descent performances in over a year are at FG.

Anyone with access to a headon replay fire it up and tell me what lead the RUNT was on on the backstretch (he was lefty going into the 1st turn).Maybe I can find an excuse for his trying to lay down in the stretch.

Otherwise he's still the RUNT to me.

When two gutless horses hook up in a stretch, it follows that you can't expect a positional change --though the RUNT did his best to refute this.

Yeah- he was horrible yesterday. It's good to know that you didn't lose the vast talent assessment skills you exhibited here last year. Thank God you're back.

I stand corrected. I completely forgot about the race in CA.

My mistake.

Congrats on being nice and smug about it though.
