Anyone else wish they would cut Summer Revolution back to 6 or 7 panels?

Or at least become a little more realistic in placing him.

I'm excited for this horse's future, but I just think he's in over his head at a distance that I would consider his absolute max.

The owner contemplated running him in the Travers.

Yeah.

My biggest issue (outside of class) is the horse hasn't shown in any of the 3 races that it will run a horse down after the opening half.

And I don't see the horse having an easy lead.

What about his pedigree or running style makes you think he's better sprinting? Serious question, not trying to instigate anything.
