I guess after the first quarter in just a few hundreds under 24 he was in pretty good shape.

Nice performance. Hopefully it will be a precursor to more good races.

Pretentious anyone?

Hell of a run by Commentator.
What was the track record at the distance prior to this?

Actually, I've been wondering for awhile now when Zito would come to his senses and realize that this horse cannot be competitive sprinting against top notch sprinters.

His game is mile racing. especially in races devoid of any real speed burners.

I'd like to see him run in races like the Met mile I suppose.

There are very few stakes races at a mile and only about two of them have been run while he was racing sound. One was last year's Met Mile and for him to have made his debut in that race, off almost a 10 month layoff, might have been a questionable choice. The other was the Cigar Mile in 2004 which might have been a good idea but hard to say.

Finding races for this horse is hard....but keeping him sound is obviously harder.

Don't know it in hundreds but it was 1:33 4/5.

Judging by the 2nd race he probably gets a number in the 105 range.

It's a good thing you're not training him.

It's in 16 days. He's a 7YO who just made his 16th start.

Do you need any more reasons?

It was a performace that would be expected. He won an optional claiming race. Don't worry, Mr Zito will continue to put this horse in the wrong spots. He cannot help himself. I really believe Zito has Napoleon's syndrom.

I'd be thinking Carter at AQU. This horse needs alot of time and 7f is a great game for him. The Donn is 16 days is a bit of a stretch, no matter how weak it comes up.
I'd like to see this horse and Chatain in the Met Mile. I can dream...
