The 3yo's are finally starting to look less horrible

Wow. Searching for video of 2nd dams. Now I remember the one reservation I had about this horse last Summer. Lookin' at the win last August, I remember thinking this guy had some weird action. This is another talented runner Drugs likes that wants to twirl a lasso. I know a lot of people think that's not important, but look at the head-on today. He's twirling, and his front n' back aren't really lined up. Again, a big stride is overcoming the problem. You got to wonder about durability when they're getting around the track that way. That's now a 5th issue. 10 f is a long way to run when a 3 year old is moving that way. I like the horse, but there are some things that are red signs (to me.) Then, I notice the splits today weren't fast (compared to the other races on the main.) He was alone on a moderate pace. So, it may be a little less impressive than it appears. Hey, I like the horse, and it carrying the dead owner's name, but I think ya got to tread lightly with this guy (Run-on sentence -10 BTW pts.) I'm guessing he would tire going 10f. That's my gut feeling. I mean the trainers sort of acting like he knows the horse prefers 1 turn. Guess you could counter that he wanted to make sure n' get some graded money. When you look back at these horses (like when they're late in their 3 year old year,) you notice that these trainers really did know what the horse wanted to do. They are either in a hurry to get to 2 turning, or they aren't. They are almost always right, too. Look at who won this 7f race 2 years ago.
