HANGER no more

From hanger to game performer against open company in an overnight stake.

Sky Dragon has come a long way.

Lacked room in the stretch or he's probably 3rd, at least.

He's improved but today's race is deceptive in that it was a typical slow paced turf race where the field ran in a pack.

TRUE

perfect example of how drafting can carry a horse around the track

but

he finishes ahead of the G1 winner, if he has a clear run

which, for a horse that couldn't run straight last year and blew 3 photos in a row, is quite an accomplishment

Because he needs an absolute dream set-up to win. They went :46 in the Sword Dancer. . .

And how does the race yesterday prove that Sky Dragon isn't a hanger? He didn't win, did he? He doesn't really seem like that much of a hanger to me anyways. . .
