Article on the above horse in the DRF, the pertinent part reads:

""I don't think he liked the surface," said Cerin. "He was struggling with it and was really tired after the race. We'll evaluate his condition, and see if we want to go in the Santa Anita Handicap or the Dubai World Cup."

This horse gets loose in the off going. You can see it in his action. He overcame it and posted a nice figure in the Hawthorne Gold Cup, but otherwise would have won off by plus lengths.

His break cost him a chance to win the B.C.Classic. Not sure where he's going, but if he elects to run the Gulfstream Park Handicap, he will motor on a dry surface there. The Artax last year was a big effort off the bench.

This horse wants some ground and the new trainer has been good for him. Knock on wood.
