Will he make it back to the races? I can't find any recent news on him other than a blogger stating that he's working out at Payson and Mott is going to bring him back for an allowance at Gulfstream or Tampa Bay Derby.

He certainly has a great deal of talent. Could be a good group in the La Derby with Pyro, potentially Z Fortune, Yankee Bravo, Tale of Ekati, Majestic Warrior and a few others.

Well I guess I will be making the trip back to The Fair Grounds for this one. Was a great day of racing 2 weeks ago, and this one looks to be another great day. Looking forward to seeing M.W in "person".

Well considering how bad the 3 year old preps have been it wouldn't shock me to see this one beat a few of them this summer...if he makes it back.

"I have personally observed his last 14 workouts with my private clocker, and his propensity for lagging early in races seems to translate from his training. I'm concerned to see Mott pacing him in a 5F workout in company then backing up to a 4F drill, while falling one day off schedule (which had been a classic 8-7-6 4-4-5 pattern.) It appears to me he has not matured at the rate one would expect of an early 3YO and perhaps in the care of a more hands on trainer he would be further along the Derby Trail"

While I'm no pedigree expert, but isn't A.P. Indy known for not producing precocious runners? Sure they may break their maiden in their 1st or 2nd start, but they then level off after that. IMO, I expect his offspring to begin to mature more towards the middle of their 3 year old season. Of course, there are always exceptions, and maybe Majestic Warrior is one.

I reasonable guess

This derby trail is not for every horse but the connections seem to roll the dice with their horses if they have the slightest ability, if not physical or mental maturity.

mrmikegap · #13 02-20-2008, 01:26 PM

I agree 100%.
