Nobiz is a huge talent but its still not finished. He is tugging so hard. I agree with Bailey. Somehow he has got to learn how to relax. Get a good position, and then relax without trying to pull the jockey over his head. This animal is super strong, holy cow.

Just glad the Pletcher horse didn't win. I have both Nobiz and AGS in my RTTR stable, but went with O'Neill instead of Pletcher for my 'numbers' trainer.

Dont think so. The hold would have been tighter. And its questionable even with another furlong if he would have gotten him anyway. Cornelus had him throttled down at the very end.

They could have gone around again and sightseeing would still be hanging there.

If that was the case I dont think Shug would be skipping the derby.

I think you need to read YOUR disclaimer again.

I think he moves to soon in the Derby for sure. He'll be right off the lead turning for home with a false lead. Everyone will be jumping and yelling for about 3 seconds then the the top 3 finishers will blow by him at the 1/8 pole. Just my thoughts and believe you me I've been wrong before.

No I think you got it. The horse has to settle and get comfy. He will be eaten up if he runs like that, no doubt in my mind. But not by Sightseek. Can anybody honestly say they saw a horse in control. I saw a horse pulling to the lead, poor Corny was back in his stirrups trying to hold him back with the good start, and Nobiz never relaxed UNTIL he got tired. The good thing about that run is he kept to task. But he was tired.
