Tavasco,

The repetitive number is somewhat of an ongoing debate with TGAB and myself for a number of Spa meets. Most not all great, good or so so ones breakthrough at some point during their 3-4 year old seasons. This one broke through to 4.5 as a 4 yr old. It has been his high water mark and one can assume his level of how fast he will get ever.... Until today, very pedestrian fractions on a course known for closers but for whatever reasons, certainly not blazing sunshine the Keeneland grass course has carried speed exceptionally well this meet. I’m not looking for a repeat of a 6yr old top next out.

The 3-4 yr old breakthrough is validated, most will, the question is when? TGAB is an exceptional reader of patterns and I will drive him nuts year after year tossing in a random sometimes bomb because he has yet to breakthrough a number and today he might. In a horizontal sequence, with odds, IMHO they are worth a throw in at 3-4, NOT 6......

The Rosario/ LePeroux worst ride of the day award without doubt goes to Jose Ortiz in the 6th on Love Sick Kitten......
