I mentioned in my comments about WS breeze that what I liked was that he went off easy and came home strong. Sign of a relaxed, happy horse

See Welsh comments below from DRF about how medal count went out faster than he came home.

Medal Count (six furlongs in 1:13.25): The Blue Grass runner-up was a bit keen to begin leaving the five-furlong pole but settled into a comfortable stride by the time he entered the turn. Medal Count covered his opening three-eighths in 36.24 and was not pressed to get to the wire in 1:00.41 before continuing on willingly when roused some around the clubhouse bend. He completed his final eighth in a solid 12.64 to the seven-furlong pole before galloping out seven-eighths under mild urging in 1:26.87. Although Medal Count’s best races have come on turf and Polytrack, he worked well on several occasions over the main track this winter at Gulfstream Park but unlike the last three of those works, when he washed out noticeably, and final two during which he swapped leads well before the wire, he did not get hot and switched leads on cue this morning. Seems to be thriving now despite having kept a very busy schedule of late.

This is the kind of thing i am on the lookout for to see if a horse is recovered from his/her last race. Whether its a pair of a big number, a 1 pt top, a 3 point top or a 7 pt top.

I don't like medal count anyway for this race because I believe he's a turf and a poly horse and the spacing of these races is terrible. This is the kind of breeze that suggests its all catching up to him. I was very vocal on the board about how much I liked him for the Transylvania and the blue grass but I don't like him at all for this race
