i just think it's strange that his effort today is the complete opposite of every race he's ever run before. yeah, not as suspect company as a few weeks back, but this horse did a 180 compared to his usual effort. had he lost by just a bit, that would tell you that maybe the field had caught up to him maturity-wise. but this was certainly an anomaly for him. and unless your name was seattle slew, smarty jones or majestic prince, you've suffered a loss at some point leading up to the first saturday in may.
we'll see how he comes back. if he comes back.
one good effort doesn't make a champ, and one bad one doesn't mean you're not.
