Scrappy T is a healthy 3yo who has tons of room for improvement.I'm not sure if Bailes is the right guy to get it all out of him,but he has done a nice job gradually bringing him up to this point.

If you pay attention to how the horses look pre race and you should-this was a very healthy feeling good animal pre Withers and Preakness.No visible sweat-shiny coat-good energy-tail up off the body from the time he was saddled until he went into the gate.He moves good over the ground but even before the Preakness he's not so smooth in the stretch with lead changes,not paying attention etc.Could be he's distance challenged or maybe he's not quite mature mentally.

Need to get Dominguez off him.I like Ramon,but you can't wallop that horse with all your might in the ribs coming off the turn like that.The trainer seems to think the horse shuts off some when he makes the lead and is unfocused.Dominguez was riding him the first time and thought he could blow the race open coming off the turn.I think Ramon got a little excited thinking he was going to win the race and whacked him good to get him to focus and open up at the top of the stretch.He had no clue AA was right behind him.Bad judgement and careless riding.That horse didn't bolt because of the crowd noise.
