yea he did he still needs to learn how to change leads also. i didn't see him change leads if he did i missed it.
will be a good horse when he grows up some more.

He ducked, veered, whatever you want to call it and more than once. He seemed to looking around and not really in the bridle, on the bit, whatever you want to call it. I am not a trainer so I will not venture to say it's a soundness, health, etc. issue as opposed to a "green" or immaturity issue. However, several people I know, and I respect their opinion, have said that he has never appeared to be unsound or have a problem. That doesn't mean he doesn't.

Be that as it may, from just watching the race -- when he did get collared, and passed, as much as he wasn't straight, he seemed to be game and fighting -- and once he got straightened out, he seemed like he really got into the bridle, dug in, and came back on. I saw more than enough to not throw him out of the "contender" category.

Agreed

Does anyone think his fairly quick work 2 days before took anything out of him? 4F @ .47.60

I asked the same thing, but I hear that he's quite the hothead and tears down the barn if he's not out on the track. (Nobiz that is.)

It wouldn't be the first time Tagg worked a horse too fast too close to a big race..
