If he had been running 3's on the main when he ran his 8 on turf, I would be more likely to discount him, but he wasn't.

G,

You've got this 100% correct. Totally agree that he's the right horse at the right price in the "Beaugamt".

Those that love to bash Hollendorfer as a 'move up' guy should note the patience he had with him too... "Just" a $67,000 purchase that took to February of his soph year to get to the gate, Hollendorfer never panicked early on when it was taking 7 tries to break his maiden. He never dropped him into Mdn Clm company. Short on synth, not his thing. Long on synth, better, but still not his best. Then long on grass and paydirt. And now he's a complete horse that looks like he still has upside.
