They may be refering to his wild morning Wednesday where he was supposed to 2 minute lick and then blow out 3/8ths down the lane. All of that was fine, except that Summer Bird did not want to stop after the blow out past the wire and couldn't be pulled up for another 5/16th. He basically worked 6f and made a complete circuit around the full mile and a half in a published 3f effort. And Ice STILL had to gallop him Friday when he was planning to just jog up to the race because Summer Bird was so full of himself.
Ice had him incredibly tuned up. Everyone who saw him in the Paddock rushed to the windows. He was snorting and grunting with head bowed and neck arched. He looked ready to explode.
