Awesome effort but this guy seems to have physical issues. A 4 year old making his 3 lifetime start off of a 69 Day layoff and now will be off for a significant time. Would have been nice to see what he could be if healthy.

Bill Mott has to be commended then for keeping this fragile horse going for as long as it did

The point of the post which seems to have escape thee is that Mean Season is extremely exciting as was Lost in the Fog when he ran his first 4 or 5 races with BSF's between 100 and 110 if memory serves me correctly. As you accurately tweeted Mean Season has not been tested so its impossible to gauge his ultimate quality BUT its very easy to be excited by his prospects.

Sorry. But honestly that horse never once excited me. The only props I will give is to the connections. I believe he ran at Gulfstream, Aqueduct, Belmont, Toga and Golden Gate. They shipped him around.

He had normal 2yo issues that delayed getting him started. Other than that he has been great physically. The timing is spread out due to the purchase and transfer to Mott. Time between 2 Mott starts due to him developing a fever the AM of his scheduled 2nd start for Mott.
