However, as I watched each race I realized that the way he was slowly bringing brought him back has to be commended. Instead of throwing him to the "wolves" he raised the bar each race he ran, improving and building upon the other to lay the foundation for this Grade 1 win.

Also have to give him credit for the addition of blinkers which many though would speed him up but appeared to make him more focused in the stretch.

I guess he had some patient owners I think some others could learn from this.

He is a part owner
