Whenever there's a race put up that fits. Has been a little crazy that nothing has been offered.

Still nothing? He was one of Gary's better horses last year; it's a shame he can't get him on the track.

As soon as there's a race carded, he'll run.

Don't know yet.. Had Father's Day/85th Birthday affair with my pop yesterday and haven't spoken to Gary yet. He did say Saturday that he was going to have the vet look at the knee which has bothered him off and on forever. May have wanted to hold off. Will know more later this morning.

As speculated.. Gary didn't like the way he came back yesterday after a blowout and held off entering. Said Pal was then much better today. Same issue he's had from early on with the knee.

There's 'fit' and then there's 'race ready'.. He's maintained fitness but needs a series of days that get him race ready. Good news is that he's been doing well the past week and Gary's confident he'll be ready sooner than later. At this point, Saratoga makes sense, though a 7f-T at BEL (there's one on the 10th) would actually be ideal.

This is not a real strong group. His best races certainly put him right there.

I suppose you are saying that he is not ready for his best though. Yes?

Hard to say with stop/starts in training. Distance and pace is the issue to me given that there's isn't a whole lot of speed. No matter what, it should set him up well for his preferred trip upstate.
