another dull effort after tugging early after taking a bad step out of the gate

I think losing General Quarters has the entire Ramsey operation on tilt.

Gomez had him in a choke hold.
And then when the horse misbehaved ,when Gomez
got into his reign shaking mode arm pumping in the stretch, he beat the crap out
of the horse. GG was totally poed. He beat that
horse up in the stretch.

bro keith had success on the dirt. then they moved him out west and he has done nothing since going to syn and then turf.
duh, i'd move him back to dirt-which is what the ramseys suggested, but frankel wanted to try him on the grass...

It's worth noting that of the 10 horses Brother Keith beat in his maiden win at CD, nine of them are still maidens. Two have yet to run back but the rest have gone:

2. Double Pittsburgh - Lost two at Oaklawn
3. Discreet Street - Lost two at Gulfstream
4. Bobby B. Goode - Lost one at Turfway, one at Gulfstream
5. Stan teh Tap Man - Lost at Turfway twice, broke his maiden, then lost in 1st try vs. winners
6. Another Dancer - Loser of five in a row at CD and FG
7. Maloof Magic - Beaten handily for a tag at Oaklawn
8. Classic Day - Hasn't run back
9. Zosogood - Loser of three in a row at FG
10. Sea of Enquiry- Loser of five in a row including three tries for 7.5k-15k tags at Turfway
11. Nantucket- Yet to run back.

Clearly, Brother Keith beat up on an absolutely horrible field. He's also running on the wrong surface now, so that explains his struggles. The original point about there being plenty of N1X events is correct, especially at Gulfstream.
