Its always hard to bet upon a horse coming back off an injury. It takes a lot of critical thought to try and get it right and even then the bettor is liable to come down on the wrong side of the equation.

Here's a horse that is coming back off an injury. It wasn't an injury his connections were able to diagnose for awhile, but if they've got it right its not an injury that seems especially likely to stop the horse now.

Theres no doubt, to me at least, that this horse was one of the best in the crop and now, here he finally is again in what may be a softer spot with almost 5 months of careful handling under his belt. He also has five months of maturation time under his belt, even if he didn't run during that time and demonstrate proof of that maturation. In other words maturation that generally still occurs.

The last time this horse ran, he ran a race somewhat like Super Frolic's Pacific Classic. He was close to a quick pace. snatched the lead from the pace horse with an authoritative move and appeared well on his way when he ran into a problem. The problem isn't in the coming race.
