Saddlecloth,
What would this horse have had to do to get you "excited"? He was 4/5 off os Secretariat's track record and broke the stakes record easily. Slow early and fast late is EXACTLY the type of race you want before the Belmont. Going fast early at 1 1/2 miles is not the way to win the ONLY true distance race left in the U.S., not that milers win the Kentucky Derby on a regular basis.
The trainer said the Belmont was doubtful after the race. That would be disappointing since he would at least be interesting in that race. And right now, the Belmont needs some interesting horses because AA looks like "death and taxes" right now.
Very curious to see the figure this horse gets from Jerry in today's race. Bailey doesn't gush over every horse and he was gushing over this one.
Interesting.....
