h? symbol

[Rick]

Hoping someone might be able to answer a question regarding the significance of the h? symbol. \"Horse may not have been extended.\" In the past when I have seen this symbol the horse moves forward again the next race. I might be wrong but that\'s what I\'ve noticed. He\'s Speightful at 12-1 has that sign in his last race so he \"wasn\'t extended\" yet the ROTW analysis says \"the big effort last time figures to take something out of him rather than something he could handle.\" Probably a dumb question but I appreciate any feedback. Thanks

Rick,

Held does not mean the horse won\'t react anyway.This horse received her big fig beating up on the Little Sisters Of The Poor in her last, is one dimensional speed and will likely have the much tougher PW on her early. HS is equally likely to get beat due to dynamics/circumstances as well as regressing from her last.Big wet track breeding though and should make the lead with a clean break.


Good luck.

Mike
