I mean that Hopeful was impressive. I seem to remember the chatter about him coming into that race....light on figs....only a maiden win on resume. I believe the only other time O'Neill shipped to Saratoga with a 2 year old was with I'll Have Another. Big sign of confidence that he would proceed similarly with Ralis. Then came the slop (Excuse) Then went wrong in the BC (Excuse)
Why here? Go to jock to boot. Have to think this one runs today. Any improvement from 2 to 3 and it may be go time.
Am I crazy?
