That was the one chink in the armor that was exposed today...swapping back to his left lead inside the sixteenth pole and shortening stride considerably in the closing stages.
He handled a determined challenge from the unheralded Tax and shrugged him off, but will he be able to do the same at this distance (and longer) against a presumably stronger rival(s) down the road?
At any rate, a performance reminiscent of Bluegrass Cat in the 2005 Remsen who did OK for himself the following spring.
