BBB,
I actually don't put too much strength in the gallop out. My point was that it was good enough for me to not take too seriously the assertations that he was so spent that he couldn't even keep a straight path in the stretch. I think this whole business of him allegedly bearing is being overrblown, especially since Jerry said that his man at the track so no reason to even include the BO in his comment line.
The only time I considered the gallop out was when a poster here, whose name I forget but to whom I'm very grateful, said that that he was at Oaklawn for one of Lawyer Ron's races and he finished so full of run it took the jock the full length of the backstretch to pull him up. I liked him in his next race anyway but that clinched it for me helped me cash a nice win bet on him.
Good luck to you as well,
Bob
