He's had two starts. One was a markedly weak winning effort and today's was a workmanlike step in the right direction. Nobody is better at developing talent than Bill Mott, so perhaps this one will take some further giant leaps forward, but unreasonable comments like that poster made are open to derision.
My friends were at Payson last week and were told this.....They watched the horse gallop with some, let's just say affiliates. I didn't make the comment "off the cuff".....not my style
