Plus, we have seen a million and one horses like this come and go - they beat up on weak types and get crushed once they are tested. I much prefer this horse to sprint - then I think he might be ok.

It would help if you and I were talking about the same horse. I like Rail Trip. Jump Start is not racing so what he can or can't do is irrelevant to this convo. And I'm going to go on a limb and guess you haven't see a million others like this one with the same amount of promise. Maybe one but not a million. I'm going to guess you haven't watched him race because the one thing that he doesn't look like is one that will be victimized by pace. Class could find him out for sure but not pace issues.
