Title: Friesan Fire
Post by: Silver Charm on April 06, 2009, 12:16:10 PM
Anybody as concerned as I am why this horse has not worked since the La Derby?

Has he been turned out to the farm?

The LA Derby was three weeks ago.

I am rooting for Jones this year after the stuff he went through last year but he is really treating this one with kid gloves.

Never gone beyond 1 1/16th and giving him 7 weeks between races.  

Maybe he will win a war of attrition this year as others seem to be falling by the wayside pretty quickly unfortunately but I don\'t think you can baby a horse into the derby and have any chance of winning the thing and that\'s what Jones seems to be doing here with Friesan Fire.

I felt the same way when Monarchos didn\'t work between the Wood and Derby....and we all know how that went.
