Many of you will think I'm coo-coo for Cocoa Puffs with this one. I think he might be a gate crasher. Last three figs

H-I is suddenly improving by leaps and bounds. Change in bits, perhaps he had a myectomy a few weeks back? Who knows for certain, but something major changed. Worked a 5f bullet at Crc.
DP = 8-2-10-6-0 (26) DI = 1.36 CD = 0.46 This one has plenty of stamina influences in his pedigree, tho his races don't seem to indicate as much.
Hal's Image is a 3/4 brother to millionaire Hal's Hope
His sheet is very reminiscent of Sarava [70-1] Belmont winner, who was an improving horse a few pts slower than the better ones. This isn't a spectacular 3yo class, with some ugly lines coming into the race and coventional wisdom says no, he's too slow[likely true? ha ha ha], but I'll give him a whirl in here, an improving horse, with the right trip, at a huge price.
Good luck!
May they all come home safely!
