How does Winning Aptitude look?

I've been waiting for what feels like forever to see this colt run.

Care to elaborate? I really liked him when he went through the ring but I though B. Wayne Hughes bought him. He was training in CA and then I started to get notifications for workouts in FL.

frankie brothers has him for jamie carrion. i honestly don't know anything about him except for the fact that an uncle and 2 good friends are at gulf all week for vacation and they have been hearing this horses name for about 3 days...they are down there with a few guys who are pretty well informed and own about 6-8 horses with Helen Pitts and they all say this is the bet of the day tomorrow. therefore, unfortunately I can imagine 2-1 or 5/2 instead of what certainly should be 8 or 10 to 1 on a firster going a mile at first asking.

Goodness, you had me worried it was something bad!

He was amazing looking as a youngster, very leggy and it looks like from his work pattern they've really taken their time with him.

Thanks for the info and good luck with all of your bets tomorrow.

Yikes, that was awful. Couldn't see what he was doing because he was out of the camera angle. The announcer said he was running greenly though. Not very inspiring race overall by the field.

what incredibly poor action by the winner through the lane

lefty, yeah, but that stride was hideous

and nobody could gain
