It seemed to favor stuff just off the front today. Like the winner of the last did.Street Hero showed too much talent to say he won't be good. He is good. It's gunna come down to whether somebody wants to make an offer to these people. If a top trainer gets him, then he could be really nice. With these connections, he will be allowance, or nibble in stakes. The guy training him just can't get it done in big spots. Maybe he doesn't cheat etc., and almost all the other top trainers out here do. I would never play the trainer at less than 10-1. Hope they sell him.
Scuds you was wrong. He overcame a mediocre trainer to give him the victory of his life in a grade 1.

SCUDS, you've lost your mind.

The horse has run 3 other times since his debut. I think everyone pretty much has gotten beyond his debut run.

Personally, I never said anything specifically about this horse (other than, given his trainer, he'd run as a maiden in a stakes---guess what? I was right too!!). I was just pointing out a potential change in running style 2nd time out, which many GREEN 2yos do. Apparently not this one.

But anyways, congrats. You called it.

What you exactly called...I have know idea.

Actually, looking back at his PPs, I should amend my last post.

In his debut, he was nearly 9 lengths off the early pace. 2nd time out, he was only a length off the pace.

Sorry for being way off.
