I didn’t like the way he went. He looks tight and won’t be on any of my tickets

Any thoughts on Hofburg yesterday? Seemed to recover his stride from that stumble (about 32 sec in on this footage), but you don't love the disruption. https://twitter.com/WatchXBTV/status...36720482926592

That workout is a little more concerning. He recovers but looks to me like he doesn’t want to run.

Before doing that, I’m going to look at his other workouts. I try not to throw a horse out for one bad race, probably fair not to do it for one bad work either.
