(Not) My Favorite Martin

Covel:

Good game run by your colt, but that \"alternating on the lead\" ride probably
didn\'t help his cause.

Best of luck going forward

thanks Richie!  Really appreciate that.

He\'s such a cool horse, runs his race everytime.

The way it played out was more our fault than anything else.

We told Martin to stay in the 3 path and we told him to stalk Divine Ambition for as long as he could.

Falling Sky just breaks so sharp everytime that he puts himself right on the lead out of the gate even when we don\'t want to be there.

I know the obvious thought is that he doesn\'t want to go that far but I think it\'s his running style more than his pedigree that gets to him at the end.

I think he could get the distance if he were to relax a little bit early in his races but I think that\'s a) easier said than done and , b) the case for alot of them.

Either way, a really fun day out there on Saturday.
