Why is it that a horse loses a couple races by a 1/2 and a head and we conclude that he doen't have any heart?? This colt finished 6 and 4 lengths in front of the 3rd place horse so its not like he was backing up to the field. TCE had to run a big number to beat him and Imperialism just got up to win from dead last in the San Rafael (45.3 for the 1/2 mile). This horse should be the controlling speed, save ground (even with Smith), and has number power. He's never finished worse than second, owns a win in a Gr.1 route. The only question is can he get the distance. Against this group, I'll take my chances with the lead turning for home.
