>Pretty Wild ran out of his mind, and bounced the next time. <

This is one of those subective things we will have to agree to disagree about.

I think Pretty Wild would have finished up the track in the King's Bishop had he run there instead of in the allowance race. I think he pressed an average allowance level pace that day which allowed him to run an impressive final figure for a standout horse. Had he chased 21.3 and 43.3 he would not have run the same final figure. He's a darn good horse with a lot of opportunity to improve in the next few months, but he was overrated going into the Jerome. IMO he did not bounce (at least not in any meaningful way). He was chasing better horses.

I bet out substantially on During in the Jerome for that reason and others highlighted.
