Well,he is a very big horse that doesn't break well from the gate.It hurt him in his debut,and in this race as well.Surprised they haven't tried blinks yet,but maybe HONU(is that her name?)can shed some lite on whether they have explored that yet.The horse just outside of him came over on him at the start.I guess he got hurt there(somewhat)and mentally "out of it" after that.2 horses in that race that certainly don't have trouble breaking from the gate are Principle Secret,and especially Stormello(a really good horse out of the gate.)Spot the Diplomat did not break all the great(if he did,then I think Alex (on P.S.)would have chosen to lay off him (instead of leading the race.)

The 2-yo crop is hard to dissect right now, especially in California.
Prime Ruler, Principle Secret and Horse Greeley have all looked brilliant and mediocre in the span of a few months.
That's why I still think CQ is the goods. He's shown consistency and
push-button accelleration I haven't seen out of any other 2-year old.
I wonder if Gomez or Bejarano will get the ride on CQ on Nov. 4th?

I think both Principle Secret and Horse Greeley should get a pass on the last race, Principle Secret was pressed through hard fractions and was game in defeat going 2 turns for the first time. Horse Greeley had a nightmare trip, he ran up on heels, checked and bolted, he's just a baby. I think they are both nice horses and will be heard from again.

We have a monster out here called E.Z. Warrior.He just started working again yesterday.He had some sort of minor problem that took him out of training for a while.He simply teased Great Hunter back in early July.Multiple gears.That Zayad guy paid God knows how much for this horse,and Baffert trains.Baffert didn't really want to run him that day(because he drew the 1 hole.)He and the owner agreed to find out exactly how good he was(by seeing if he could win despite the 1 hole.)Horse had to wait behind traffic,and then made a huge push button move through traffic.Great Hunter came up to his outside(with a big wide move,)and E.Z. Warrior toyed with him before easily drawing off.Maybe we will see him in the HWD Futurity.Same owner as Point Ashley.The guy has some major jak.

E.Z. Warrior was bred to be a good 2yo by Exploit out of a stakes-placed sprinting Carson City mare. He could be a factor later in the year but dont expect a Classic's type with him.

Yeah,that's right(Exploit.)He said that he trained Exploit,and that Exploit was no where near as talented as this horse(E.Z. WARRIOR.)10F could be a struggle.Maybe it's just me,but it seems like most horses with Carson City involved (in the breeding) are up against it (as far as getting 10f.)

Actually, Carson City is a name I LOVE to see on the dam-side of a pedigree. He adds quality speed and versatility. His daughters are producing well when bred back to some stamina, ala Barbaro.

I'm glad EZ warrior is getting back to working. I saw that race, and he looked fantastic. The fact he was off for so long, I wasn't sure if he was injured, or what.
Speaking of Baffert 2-yo, I really liked Enforcement last year before he was injured. He's been back on the worktab for awhile now, and I assume he'll run before Santa Anita ends.
