I did not see the races Saturday, but I think Rockport caught a glib track. I'm not altogether sure its as easy to figure the two turn races Saturday though. He also felt the sting of injury and raced through it, so I count that in his favor. They came home a little slow, but lets face it, they are two year olds. (I think Smarty threw a Zed as a two year old if I'm not mistaken) Long way to go, but he did what he had to do and Galloping Grocer is not a bad colt either. Great Race.
In defense of Purge I would like to say theres some data suggesting he 0-2-x'd. He ran some bang up races as a 3 yr old and he ran some dudes too. He may not be up to Grade I older horses, but he fires or he doesnt. I don't think he fired Saturday, but admit that four mark duel with Pico was certainly part of it.
After analyzing the charts I'm more and more impressed with Pico's game third. Heckuva race.
