i'll try to remember to let you know when i see him running again.

i don't want to claim to know anything about placing horses -- but i'd say polytrack is the way to go with him.

after today, we can say that his two turf races have been atrocious -- i just figured that this second time on the turf might do the trick.

his maiden win was on poly, and he was full of run at keeneland on the poly and got a terrible trip. seems to be his best surface.

i understand how you feel with wanting to have a bet on him. i used to love this horse in chicago named Bailar. she was a total piece of ****, but she always came from way way way back. every now and then she'd crack the exacta, and it'd more than make up for all the times she passed one horse.

for some reason or another she was one of my favorites, as bad as she was and as much cash as she burned for me -- or i should say that i burned betting on her, because it's not her fault i kept being stupid but you don't want to miss that one time she comes home in front at 30-1!
