my notes on beethoven
Beethoven has the right kind of style and ability to be winning races at a lower class. Unfortunately if he gets the class drop he needs, he will be overbet anyway. He is a 7f to a mile type of horse. He has some options such as synthetic races, although Keeneland should be too challenging at allowance or better, and the Lanes End at turfway is too far. There are also some ungraded stakes he could shoot for.
Allowance at turfway seems about right  .Last 2 In the Holy Bull he raced against the bias, wide into the 1st turn, and then had to try to tackle 2 horses who had been riding with the bias. Beyond his distance limits, he was done by the 2nd turn and was being hard ridden, but still stayed on enough to battle for third. In the FOY ridden well off the pace, and came home in a race best 48.31 for the last 4 furlongs.
