Third again today while trying to stay closer to what figured to be a slow pace. Can't fault Alvarado for taking that tact but attempts at that style have blunted his finish in the past and seemed to today as well. Course has to be very heavy as time was slow, 1:37.4 today v. 1:34.2 two weeks ago.

Thought he ran well. Was this his first time on a yielding course?

That's a viable point. Caught a 'good' (likely worse) course at AQU in the last turf race run in NY in 2013.. and didn't run well. Surface with give to it may not be to his liking.

While mowing my yard today, I found it also had a lot of give to it due to the recent rain. I did not care for it either. I'm with Cannon on this one.

i thought Junior gave everything he had today. Not sure what else he could have done.

Cannon has got to want to win.

I wish we could get him to apply himself. Practice! It's practice!

Still a lot of fun!!!

Go Toy Cannon. Go Dee Tee.

Steve:

I saw that the June 1st result improved his lowest Thoro to 7.


Amazingly, his average margin of defeat is less than 2 1/2 lengths over his last 11 races.

Now I see that as a "glass is 1/2 full" angle....
