Seems like the trainer change helped.

I've got a nice photo of Xtra Heat being led by Tim Salzman, Southwestern Heat's trainer. He's got some good stats going and learned well from his papa. They will do right by this colt, who seemed misplaced and mishandled when he ran a ChCh. The fractions were impressive, huh? And it looked like SWH takes the turns just like his mama...same with the fast start out of the gate.
