Fort Larned

[phil23]

His trainer is the king of pointing to a race so the slight regression last race not much of a concern. Obviously has the number to win it. What may be a concern is that he is seems to be having to be riden much harder now to get him out of the gate as opposed to last year when he seemed to make the lead effortlessly. Someone who\'s opinion on such visual matters I respect has noticed this and I am wondering if anyone else has and if so might that be cause for concern?

on a separate note, is it possible that this horse is coming into the classic off a concealed 0-2-X?

Neither concealed nor 0-2-X.
