Rockport Harbor looks very impressive thus far and must be considered a viable early morning line favorite to capture the 2005 Triple Crown .
After being out front of the pack , and perhaps unduely so , with critisism for Smarty Jones's 3 year old campaign ( all well intentioned of course )and after some enlightenment that I recieved on this web page I have only positive things to say about everyone connected with that horse .
Rockport Harbor has totally awesome Thorograph numbers and pattern for his only three career races going into today and by the way his performance looked this afternoon @AQU he probably ran another big effort , maybe a new top .
With young horse's running fast or negitive numbers as if it were common place nowaday's it's no longer a question of simply " To fast too young ? " anymore . How a horse is managed and not to forget to mention racing luck are as important as all the talent a runner might posess
Each horse must be evaluated on it's on merits and the kinds of fast numbers that horse's are running now probably should not be viewed lets say as "off the board" but rather for what they are - numbers in the minus level or negative register . So my feeling on Rockport Harbor today is that his numbers might be to fast too young "not" . Now I only wish I could have figured to play Lion Tamer today @ 13-1 ...
