I think this horse is in way over his head as a router.I agree with all,he should be a sprinter,maybe a mile at the most.He has already been throttled in too many races already,and could probably use a little rest by now.

It seems like a good idea to skip the derby for him. He can't do everything.

Yes,Throttled. Most Horses that have little or no graded stakes first money do not do well in the triple crown.Thirds don't count.

Does anyone know why this horse seems to have trouble on the break or have traffic trouble in most of his races? Is it the blinkers? What about last sat? Trip notes say "unprepared" Never seen that before, although it does seem apropro. Arent sprinters supposed to break well from the gate?

When the words "Derby" and "Tuefelsberg" are used in the same sentence, I am correct in assuming they mean the Remington or Ohio Derby? No way in hell could they be considering the KY Derby......then again, that trainer is something like 1 for 52 at the FG so she must not know where to place her horses.

I think she is going by the theory that if I keep running him,he will win eventually.

he kind of staggered out of the gate saturday. he was fortunate he had lots of room to slide right to the rail. he must have lost 2 lengths with that break so he actually ran a better race than at first glance.
