And he went right back to the bench after that. I have to think they had to pussyfoot with his training coming back this second time so that he could hold together. I also wonder if they were more or less "forced" to run in stakes races instead of an allowance race with 3 wins already under his belt.
One bad sign going forward off the Suburban is that his last work for the race came on turf. It could be for any number of reasons and was only 4 days before yesterday's race, but with his history it seems a little ominous.
