I don't make that assumption. But no, I don't think that's his overall point. I took it as his point is that the horse isn't that good or at the very least, won't be any good past 8f.

Well yeah there were many points. How many races you think Charlatan has left in him? 3 at most?

He’s a good, maybe very good horse under the right circumstances. He’s also a horse that has made 5 starts through February of his 4 year old year. Maybe he will be ready by June for the Met Mile but IMO he’s more likely to retire instead of run. I guess we will see but I’m putting the over/under at 3 1/2 more starts for him and I’ll take the under for the table limit.

I think that over/under would have to be set at 2.5 starts to be a fair line.
