I wonder where Twirling Candy would have finished had he run in the Donn Handicap today. Visually, he still seems to be a bit of a run-off type going two turns and I don't think he would have enjoyed being placed somewhere between Square Eddie/Morning Line and Rule/I Want Revenge.
Nonetheless, a very powerful performance in what amounted to a second level allowance race based on the rest of the field (unless you're ready to call Indian Firewater a real Grade 2 horse).
