I actually thought it might be a little lower when you compare his time to that of an optional claimer for 3YOs a couple races earlier. Regardless, as you say, it was a pretty impressive performance for a second start. Plus, he didn't come out cleanly, and didn't earn it getting loose on the lead.

Terrific horse who unfortunately debuted at the wrong time. The rush to the TC always does a horse like this in.

Normally I would agree but Showing Up was rushed and ran very well the rest of the year....Of course I'd much rather have a horse with Tagg than the assman.
