I'm having trouble finding a stream to watch it...of course I can always catch it on RaceReplay...but hey I'm sure Todd will call if he wins.

I can't get to FL this week for sure. So I'm here in NY, just hoping.

really nice looking fellow, with good shoulder angle, nice back, short coupled. Only one stupid asking from me why is he having long toes, and way cut heels at his back feet? Now is the pressure bigger on his joints in his back legs instead of dividing the pressure overall in his completete back in my opinion. Or helps this on the dirt surface?
He should also go on good, soft or yielding turf tracks the way he is put together. Was he still growing lately?

He is more of a turf horse...we think. And yes, he still is growing. That was taken in January.
