Tale of Ekati work or misprint

[Quiet Chris]

Was this an actual work this morning at Belmont? Could he have possibly gone that slow for 6f?

Yes he did and Barclay Tagg was not happy.

"I don't know how a world-class rider can go out there and work [a horse] in 1:18 - I just don't know," said Tagg, who added he was so upset that he didn't talk to Coa after the move. "I told him go in 1:12."

Maybe Coa was thinking of Funny Cide's run off 57 a few days before the Belmont and decided to train TOE himself?

I would guess not in your eyes. Perhaps it's in the eye of the beholder. In this case I am sure Tagg was looking for ammunition.

lol
no, i don't know if he is or not, which is why i asked...but you'd think if he was world class, he'd get closer to what the trainer wanted then that.

I dont see why Tagg is so upset. Its not like he was capable of going much faster.
