Sacred City

[GPK]

Maybe one of these days, this guy will put it together. I'm taking his running line comments with a grain of salt (haven't watch any replays personally), but if they are accurate and you are to believe them, he has certianly had some trouble trips. Here they are, after his debut:

4/28/08 1 1/16th turf - steadied repeatedly

12/1/07 1 mile 70 Inner Dirt - Had no rally ( I can toss this effort)

10/17/07 1 1/16th turf - chased 3 wide, tired

9/27/07 1 1/8th turf - roughed up start

9/13/07 1 1/16th turf - altered course stretch

8/19/07 1 1/16th turf - steadied along early

8/10/07 1 1/16th OFF turf - inside trip, no rally



Seems with a little better luck, he may pop at a big price.

Just rewatched his turf efforts. He surely has had some eventful races to say the least. Be interested to see what a clean trip might do for him.

I watched a few of them .... this horse has had really no trip to write home about.... I am not going to say perfect trip equals a winner.... but a little racing luck could make a difference.... I'll have a few bucks wagered at that price....

Thanks Hoss..... didn't go crazy .... only cost about a beer on a flier... rather than a case or two....lol

I know, nothing clever, but I just don't think today is the day for Sacred City.

Hossy, our boy is in the 4th today for a $25k tag

His best race, by far, was his debut.
