First Defence

[XIIPointStables]

Been watching this horse since he ran 2nd to Zanjero last November.

Frankel really took his time getting him back to the races. Destroyed an ALW group today in the 7th at BEL and the word I guess was out at 3/5 off the 6-month layoff.

I can't bring myself to play anything 3/5 and I saw no way to really hammer any exotic bet.

But the real treat was watching JJ hand ride him around the 7F in 1:20 and change. Just an awesome display.

Super impressive and one to watch this summer. Awesome display.

Talk about a soft spot Saturday in the Long Beach whatever it's called at Monmouth.

Of the 15 horses nominated, 2 entered. Four more were supplemented in.

He should crush these in a prep for the Haskell or Saratoga.
