What u didnt see was the scrapes on his hocks...........From the ambulance that trails the races, kept going up behind him and giving him the "bump and run" cause he was going so slow!!!

may 25th, someone on this board told me, "i've seen the horse and he can't run a step!" looked like a pretty good assessment.

actually, and you can ask drugS about this one, i saw his 2yo sale workout before he sold and thought he'd go for around 100k, not 16 mil.

he didnt look good at all.

well, at this rate, about 3200 starts, and he'll earn his purchase price back....

With Pletcher training him, he should make that 3200th start by the year 2647.

I guess they needed more time with him..lol... Here's a quote by Pletcher after the race...
Quote:
Had he known beforehand the race would be run so quickly, Pletcher said the outcome would not have been surprising. “I could have told you, he probably wouldn’t have been ready for that,” he said.

Excellent, a redboard of an overpriced, poor running yearling sale graduate. Very creative!
