Ok I'm not being combative but....split horses in the Risen Star? As he was set down he went inside a fading runner who finished last. I mean he blew by him so fast it was nearly irrelevant.
Could he sit in the pocket like Myatic Dan in the Derby and pop thru the rail or tip out and drive home. NO!! I knew better than to use him in the Belmont but I was stupid and I did. I figured they would bunch up 5 wide turning for home and force him excessively wide. And sure enough they did.
He is coming off 3 straight 1's. Will he get better or be another Zandon for Brown? A Tacitus? This horse has flaws and most importantly can not run straight.....
