He had the same thing happen to him in his last race at SA - pressed a slow pace - but he was totally flat. He looked a lot better on synthetic when they took him back.

I Want Revenge is a decent horse.....I know I got mocked, maybe here maybe somewhere else but Mullins has said for 6 months, well before the futurity this was the most talented horse he has had.....and while he may be a scum bag cheater he is not a hyperbole machine, in fact he usually is the opposite talking down his chances. I always was impressed with the way IWR has run and laughed when Crist and others used the figure in the Hollywood Futurity as reason to claim none of those horses can run, figures on synthetic are probably 5-10 points to slow at the higher levels if the horse runs the same on dirt. I have a little future wager on this horse at a big number so hopefully he is as good as he looked yesterday although as been pointed out he got a great setup.
