Lawyer Ron, his works

Just thought I would point out that since receiving LR, Pletcher has worked him three times and none are the speed crazy bullets he was firing before.

I saw that as well, it will be interesting to see his next start...

You noticed that also?
I was wondering what the bleeding hearts who said noone was to blame for his rankness are right about now.
The first step in getting a horse to relax in the afternoon is to get him to relax in the morning. It appears they are doing just that. So the bleeding hearts can cry me a river.

I read the article on Bloodhorse, they were talking about Premium Tap's work and it looked like he and LR worked on the same day, there was a significant difference in time. That might be a bad thing, but we all know LR can roll, so I took it as a positive...

Of course its a postitive. Once you know a horse has speed you don't need to impress the clockers every 7 days and show everyone how fast your horse is. You want controlled energy with even 8th's and a strong gallop out so that the horse knows he's supposed to finish.
I guess I brought it up because the notion that his rankness couldn't be dealt with appears to be a fallacy.

I think he still has some upside, he wasn't spotted that well, until the beginning of the year, then by that time he had run alot. His sheet #'s weren't bad and with the break and trainer change, I think he can improve. I don't like him in the Classic, but he's a board threat if he goes...Pletcher might not have a say, but I would think he would rather run in the Clark...

The funniest thing Hoss is that when Pletcher gets horses and they win or improve all the nitwits can't wait to accuse him of cheating. They don't seem to understand things like a change up in work patterns and conditioning, as if those things make absolutely no difference.
