Ron,

I guess you think these are stock cars. Even if you could motivate him early, you can't use him to keep him closer to the pace if you want him to finish. Would like to see him get a 9f try or even beyond.

I was trying to think back on all of his races - I don't remember him backing up in any. He always seems to be coming late regardless of his final placement.

Turf Routes seem a little difficult to get a slot in but what about when you start asking for 9 and above? What is the availability of 9, 9.5, 10, 12 on the turf. Or dirt for that matter? He has just one win - are there conditions that he could fit in at those distances? Just wondering.

What if at a mile he's right in there with everybody else ... but at 2 miles he's 10 lengths ahead?

Same condition. NY-bred ALW/N1X. They run them occasionally.

It's not bad getting checks and keeping that condition alive is it ? I like these kind of honest effort hosses .
