Work was awful
Gallops since have been better
Doesn't matter though as I think the horse is very distance limited. Had dream trip in Fla Derby and lost ground in stretch to another distance limited horse.
Has never won a two turn race for a reason. If he could settle early and make a run, he would be better off but he needs the blinks to focus him and the blinks put him on the pace and he can't last going fast early.
We had a very different plan with him if we had bought him. Think he's a poly/turf horse
All that said, several very smart people I know like the horse so don't let me talk you off him if you like him.
I hate him for this race though, he won't be on any of my tickets.
