He wasn't ever asked to run, and he had more in the tank. Certaintly he wasn't idling along, but the jockey was holding him back down the stretch. The horse could have given him a lot more. I don't think anyone would argue with that.
This horse is a monster. My record in these things on this board speak for itself. I have never been wrong about a horse's talent on this board. Every horse that I have said was extremely talented off their maiden win has gone on to be multiple stakes winners except for Indyanne and Zada Belle. Hopefully, both will have their chance.

Please let us know how much faster a colt runs when whipped slashed and urged? A tired horse can be urged to extend himself for a few more yards beyond his mental and physical make up a fresh colt loaded with run isnt going to sprout wings because some yahoo jock cracks him on the ass or finishes him out.. Perhap you and or your connections should review less Xrays and watch more race replays....
