Ritchey has a very good percentage going. He's treated Alex like an individual and two a days were part of his routine for the Ark romp and he was doing two a days early at Pimlico.
The talking heads didn't like the routine. Who you gonna defer to, a high percentage trainer giving a horse extra attention or the talking heads?
They said Smarty Jones was an athlete, recalling a story about him doing a back flip to kick at a squirrel that irritated him. If folks have been watching, Alex has pulled some physical movements that are eye boggling. Special horses get special treatment.
Theres some good handicap horses out there, but this is a good three year old.
