Nice pics. My favorite thing about this horse's connections is that they had the good sense to recognize a nice 3 year old sprinter when they had one, and so they kept him going 6 and 7 furlongs. A lot of people would have seen a 3 year-old of his quality and started trying to chase the TC dream. They might have ruined this horse if they had tried to stretch him out last year. Instead they kept him doing what he did best and the result was an eclipse award.
Then they thankfully bring him back and run him at 4. I think the sport needs more people that make those kind of decisions. I'll always cheer for this horse for those reasons.
