Really? Where were those gears a few weeks ago?

you have to understand these horses arent machines, they are living and breathing beings. Hes only a 3 yr old, and gave indication that he could of been better than what he has already shown. Showing the potential to do it and doing it are different things, but if given the chance who knows.

Based on what? Just because he was three? He was a relatively precocious two-year-old, so expecting him to improve more at four is a stretch.

i agree, but like someone else said.....,this is the game now. this is no surprise. i am more surprised when the 3 yo's keep racing at 4.

Thats really not fair, is it? He was h2h with Blame. Blame being the older horse pulled away. I could easily see L@L being better then Blame was this year, NEXT YEAR.
