Analysis: He finally had a workout! I was set to take him off the list for good this week, but his workout gives me hope. Although the work was very slow, perhaps they are just easing him into things. Normally I would not have a horse like this ranked at all, but him being competitive with Nyquist all of last year has me intrigued. Has to pick it up soon though…
