A bounce is legitimate possibility and since you ask, you'll note that included in the special, SA sheets and SA Thoro-Quick, is a sneak preview of some new Thoro-Graph trainer statistics, a work-in-progress. (Available in Red Board Room Sunday.)

In an admittedly small sample--5 observations--all Shuman 2nd time out 2yos have run an X, that is 4 points worse than the previous top.

Although Forest Music is the fastest 2yo he's ever trained, the short rest, east-west ship and huge 1st out effort makes Forest Music very likely to be the 6th Shuman 2nd time out 2yo to run an X.
