I probably look for him to be on a long layoff until the Cigar Mile.

Well with a slop forecast for the Jerome per the Almanac, there are very few options left.

I was thinkinking the Cigar Mile cause thats where Pletcher spots his "Coulda been" Triple Crown nominated horses. But I am pretty sure he will spot him a race before it just as a gauge.

While I am a huge PON fan I think this horse had to have gotten hurt to finish this poorly. Yes, I had him on the bottom of my super ticket.

I'm sure he likes winning the race, but it's not the kind of race you aim for with a 3 year old at this point.

He has to prep for the Malibu somewhere.

Thats the Nick Zito method. Running them in any 3 yo race and TRY to hit the board approach.

Take The Points has run in three bad races so far. I just feel he needs some time off instead of rushing into any 3 yr old race at this point.
