Title: why not King C?
Post by: ROBERT49 on May 16, 2011, 06:55:42 PM
why can\'t this one jump up in his first dirt route? all 4 route races are good(3 turf, 1 poly), and he is always in contention at the top of the stretch. his first 2 lifetime races on dirt were poor-to say the least, but they were his first races and both were sprints. he was within a head of BS in the GR1 BLUE GRASS, and his pattern is not that bad compared to the AK\'s prior to his first dirt race. at 20/1, am I reaching too much?

Yes. Not trying to be a smartass but that is a reach. In my opinion this horse just looks like he wants turf/synth. I don\'t blame the connections for taking a shot but I don\'t like his chances.
