Wow. He is working that horse. I notice Abrams is also the owner... I guess he feels the horse is sharp and healthy. Has a real chance here in the Affirmed.

Barry Abrams has been racing his stock like this for many years in Southern California.....

Sometimes his horses win at a price.....

Look at the workouts on the bottom.....sometimes there are only 1 or 2 workouts in a month or 6 weeks.....He works his horses in the races...Huh..Did I say that???  Just like how some trainers give their maidens experience first or 2nd time out in their first couple of races....

I see he scratched...but still, I know several trainers who have reputations of \"racing into shape\" but a colt of that stature?  seems better understood for claimers.
