Wouldn't mind seeing Gomez ride him. Still think he'll flatten out going 9-10f in Grade 1 races. Are you saying Bejarano, Albarado, and Willie all gave this horse a bad ride? The only problem is the ride? He's had 6 two-turn races. The only one where he isn't giving up ground (late) is the race where they set a 1:13 pace. That race is thought of as one of LAL's least impressive efforts. Even when he won going two turns, he was giving up ground late in the race.
