I cant blame Ellis for the horse losing yesterday or taking his time with a nice colt, but it certainly turned him into a paper Tiger. Ellis does frustrate me despite winning at such a high %, he is a bit like Harty IMO.

That race had to have taken nothing out of him, it was a crawl pace. They should wheel him back in two weeks in the Met where he fits much better, but I am sure Ellis has a race in August planned.

Probably another condition race at 1 1/16.

he doesn't really look like a stakes horse unless the race is a stakes in name only, or void of speed.
