Any idea what Ashtar has been running against in Chile? Seems pretty versatile with wins ranging from 6.5 furlongs to 12 furlongs.

Lil Calbred will give ya everything he has. At least, they know 2 months is enough rest to get his legs back under him. Whenever he has tried this hard (and can't quite get there) he has been dull in his next 2-3 races. So, hopefully, they give him 7-8 weeks now.

I don't think it's a question of spacing. Caracortado is probably just a better horse on the turf.

That dull race 2 back was on turf. He looks exactly like that after coming a tough 2nd to Fluke, or C Cat etc. It decks him.

He got one of the worst rides in the history of the American turf in the Arcadia. He wasn't dull.

He was far back for a reason. He was decked from the Fluke race. Joe give any quotes after the race? He's small. He is game as hell, but he is small, and he's just not quite as good as C.Cat, or Fluke. He empties everything trying to beat those types. Well, I think we will get to see who's right, because they will most likely come back in 3-4 weeks at Del Mar.
