That 52 debut Beyer for Alaazo caught your eye?

The fact that he's out of Atelier is worth noting, no? And being by A.P. Indy, would we really expect this colt to be ready to run fast early?

Should relish the 9 panels and has been well-regarded from first arrival at Mott barn. Important fans of slow horses have been eagerly awaiting his 3yo debut.

In a related story, I am the proud owner of Atelier's race-worn saddle cloth from The Gazelle.

No, she didn't win.

No, it's not for sale.

No, I don't care that you're jealous.

I expect horses with talent to not run disgracefully slowly in their races. If you took the time to look up his debut you would see that the horse he beat was exiting not one, but two, $25K maiden claiming races....but did move up to break his maiden in a $40K maiden claimer in his next start. The others behind them found their niche running slowly in turf races.

On the highlighted part........give me a break.

That was 5 months ago. A 2yo in August, now a 3yo in February. He may very well be talentless, but he also has every right from a pedigree standpoint to improve with maturity.

Aquarian has run virtually the same race 5 times in a row, and I know you believe he has upside yet..

I believe in what I see on the racetrack.
