Warrior's Reward

[The Indomitable DrugS]

When Warrior's Reward won his debut ... he beat a 20/1 Pletcher horse with a 23 Beyer in his only start .. and that one hasn't run back. The horse who was 3rd to WR in his debut has run terrible since finishing 3rd. I thought it was a lousy race.

In Warrior's Reward's second career race ... he had a perfect trip and was crushed by Dunkirk and ran worse than Sincero.

In Warrior's Reward's third career race ... he was perfectly positioned in the Tampa Derby and could manage only an 8th place finish beating two horses.

I just think he wasn't that much horse coming into Saturday .. maybe he did figure to project for big improvment ... but that was monster improvment imo.

I wouldn't have been that shocked had he won .. I was shocked by his performance though.
