Kev, he looked like he was being strangled back by JV going into the first turn and down the backstretch. His head was up higher than I've ever seen him run. I think he wasted alot of energy in the first half mile because of that. I didn't think he'd even get 2nd after that. Ran better than I thought. Don't know what they were thinking but don't count him out of the BC Turf yet. Doesn't he have a fondness for the Monmouth turf course?
