Hey Steve,
Your hurting my price on Zeb! Realistically, he's in a tough spot with the step up in class. Who would have thought you find a BC champ and runner-up in a 75K stake.
Zeb does love the FG turf and Rosie in the saddle so we thought it was worth a shot since the n3x didn't fill. He's training well so we are expecting a good effort from our homebred.
