the travers

[ontheoutside]

this is what i said about am ph after kentucky derby

didnt impress me 1st 3 horses got out no one passed anyone
am ph didnt have any pressure on his outside and to that point hadnt had any pressure to his right side in any race he was in stevens horse did all the dirty work he just cleaned up the mess

i thought the preakness was going to be his easiest race to date
just go out and loaf which he did put them to sleep

in belmont i thought do the same thing catch me if you can which he did
so while he won the triple crown he just didnt impress me because no one put him to the test

the haskell was a exibition for him no compitionon at all
even though keen ice closed could you really say will watch keen ice next race? am ph was geared down passing wire

so it brings me to the travers and ill admit up to this point am not fan of this horse
will i am now
this sounds crazy but i think in my view
that the lose in the travers was his best race as far as showing everyone what kind of horse he really is after constant pressure from a talented horse in froasted he dismissed him at the 16th pole and was clearing until getting caught by a closer
showed guts determination and class and im now on the band wagon
i hated to hear the trainer and jock give excuses that they knew at the half mile pole he wasnt right
please
he got beat fair and square
but he sold so many people as to what kind of horse he reallly is
he may not be super but whatever word the world uses now for a tad less then super he is
i bought the stock on am ph after this race
a losing race puts me in his barn
all this talk about him retiring
this horse enjoys running
and theres no shame in his effort this past week
he deserves as a horse to finish year
and lets see how he as the horse not the humans dealing with him
deals with a loss
im a fan

I said it in the other thread. I actually thought he was playable after that race, due to the fact that he actually made up ground on a track that was so biased towards front runners/speed. Not to mention the extra panel. That being said, I still didnt expect him to beat AP.
