I think he was given 3rd string status by his own barn and when he became the main option after Eurosilver\'s illness and the bad start by Birdstone they may have knuckled down on him and given him more attention.  He has been compromised by brutal trips in both his 3yo and 2yo years and his coming out party was no surprise to me although the figure jump of that magnitude was.

The Beyer assigned to this crawlathon was way too high.
