style style style
His Remsen was a really nice race at 9f. Nobiz at 2yo in the Remsen -Better than anything he or Scat Daddy has done at 9f since.
Then they went to the Holy Bull (mile).
Wasn't a ton of pace so C Vel takes Nobiz to the front and wires the field.
Wasn't necessarily a terrible decision... the pace numbers looked ok, he didn't go too fast early, he still came home at the mile distance pretty fast...
Then they go to the FOY(9f)
Stormello "breaks like a quarter horse" , and sets an impossible pace. Nobiz's Remsen form would have had him well off the pace and crushing the rabbit in the stretch. Yet instead of that nice style , Nobiz chases the pace. Nobiz gets sucked right into Stormello's rabid pace. No style he tires in the stretch he runs crazy trying to keep that pace...
Now the quick "fix" in time for the derby rush
Blinkers (move him up even MORE????)
They just need to get Nobiz back to his Remsen form and they have a top horse. Good stamina in the pedigree, hes a great animal physically. What he is not is a sprinter, and he is not a wire-to-wire type.
How does Tagg win all these turf races and he has Nobiz so screwed up from where he was at 2? Or is Nobiz really that rank that he doesn't rate at all anymore?
