Just play against him next time. Last year off his big effort, he was an unsound mess the rest of the year.

He didn't run a single bad race last year.

The only not so good race he ran was in the Woody Stevens when Velazquez skillfully trapped him and he got in a world of trouble - and still he only finished less than 3 lengths behind subsequent Dwyer and Jim Dandy winner Kensei. He was also laid up for a bit after that race.

Look at the layoff lines.

I told you that POS would get a ham sandwich in the Woody Stephens.

I wonder where that Wes Ward that run the 146 beyer at GP last winter is....I remember getting like 4-1 on him in a stake where he drew the rail and could not lose....Ramsey owned.

Notonthesamepage hasn't raced since the Fountain Of Youth - which was the start after the race he freaked in.

How awesome was last years Fountain of Youth? ... that race got a great pace figure and the sound version of Quality Road won it.

Tune in to next week's episode of DrugS Handicapping Hour of Power .. as this might be a topic of discussion.

The most amusing horse to me is certainly Buddy's Saint ... and not because he has the all-important triple digit Beyer in career start #2 at 7f or beyond angle (that fig was thanks to a perfect trip up a gold rail)

The reason why I love Buddy's Saint so much is because he is the product of two of the all-time most unlikely move-ups I've ever seen.

His sire Saint Liam was an absolute dog biscuit as a 3yo for a pretty solid trainer before Dutrow transformed him into a Horse of the Year.

His dam Tuzia was claimed for 25K and ran dead last at 2/5 odds while with trainer Juan Serey....

That sounds like the kind of claim that goes on to never again win another race ... but Tuzia returns off of a 9 month layoff and negative trainer switch and runs four sick races in a row.
