He is such an interesting horse. There are stories that his owner would take him for rides in the trailer much like you'd take your dog for a ride to make him happy.

Time Squared....unfortunately reminded me of Canteen, no mind on the matter although he did get interested once Spanky got back into the race. Break wasn't that good and he did get slightly taken up at the top of the stretch when Tiago won...so I guess there is room for improvement...I just hoped for a lot more.

What's really weird is that Gonzales had another do that exact same thing last year in a stakes race at Oaklawn. It was almost identical. Both the horse today and the horse at Oaklawn bolted at the top of the stretch and then again at the 1/8th pole. And both horses then came back on. The one at Oaklawn ended up running 2nd.

Now I remember who the horse was at Oaklawn. It was Miss Norman. The race was the $250,000 Fantasy Stakes.
