I'm just not sure which horse will show up tomorrow after the poor effort in his last race. The fact that Reade Baker is running him in this stakes race after the poor effort in the allowance race is a good sign. You wouldn't think they would run him in this spot if he wasn't doing well. Maybe they corrected whatever it was that caused him to run so poorly last time. He's had 6 weeks off since that race and he's showing some good works. We'll see what happens tomorrow.
I don't know if any of you saw the race today, but he did run the way I always thought he was capable of running. He won by 5 lengths. I was disappointed with the price. He only paid $7.60. He had just gotten crushed in a nwx1 allowance race. The race today was a $150,000 stakes race. It was only a 7 horse field, but I would have still expected to get 5-1.
