I realize he was beaten 22 lengths yesterday - but that was by far his best performance this year ... at least he did some real running through some point in a race for the first time this year. When I saw how close he was to that pace after 4 furlongs were run - I said "if he makes it across the wire at anything more than a walk it's a miracle"
I think it was easily his most encouraging performance this year. He's simply a one-dimensional deep closer who needs to be taken way back early on. If he couldn't run at all anymore - he wouldn't have been able to keep close contact with that rapid pace yesterday.
