I hope you read my earlier post on Saturday BEFORE the race! I've liked this horse from the start.
You're quite right, his gallop out (in his last three races) has been incredible. And you should have seen that Evangeline Race, he went the last quarter in just under 23 seconds in a route race in late December -- I can't ever remember a two year old doing that! Older horses on turf do that but almost none ever do that on dirt.
He has a sprinter's pedigree,(actually, I don't know much about his mom) but he reminds me a lot of Afleet Alex (who the experts said would never go the classic distances). I can't wait until he runs again, and un-like a lot of the other 3 year olds, he hasn't "run too fast". I mean Stevie Wonderboy (who I bet against Saturday by the way) already ran a "0" on rags, I forget what he ran on t-g's, in the Breeder's Cup, but what's he going to do -- improve?? I don't think so. He'll be lucky to ever get back to number.
This guy bears watching! So he's going to Oaklawn next? That'll be fun.
