2nd off a long layoff. Maybe get some more bottom into him for a bigger race next out?

he has some turf in his pedigree. it might be a test to see if he can run on turf. hes not really missing any big dirt stakes right now. so if he doesnt handle the grass they can go back to dirt after. but if he does run well it opens up more opportunities for him down the road.

If the "point" is unclear....isn't that a little interesting?

He won't win, his jockey sucks and is 1 for 38 in BC/TC races.

Love,

No kidding. He just made the comment about him being a router. I was making the comment that he was 4 for 4 at 7 furlongs and less. Is 7 furlongs not considered a sprint anymore?

Hard to like him. All out last time against nothing; and now cutting back 2F --and on that turf course -- which should **** up his footwork nicely.

Nice job of plotting out a path for this horse. Too bad the connections didn't complete the IDIOT TROIKA by keeping the Great Collapser up.

This is a first...But I totally agree with you.
I thought his main spring/summer goal was the Met Mile.
How does this help him prep for the Met Mile.
I thought the Gulfstream Park handicap was a perfect fit for him.
