I agree, good to see him back in the mix. I tried to find the video of his workout, but I didn't have any luck.

The best thing that has happened to many a successful horse is to have failed while heavily bet on as a two-year-old in its first or second attempt to break its maiden. The trainer doesn’t like what he sees, or a minor injury is discovered, but the result is the same: the horse is laid off, allowed to grow and mature, and comes back as a three-year-old, often winning first time back. The return to the races of this type of three-year-old often heralds the beginning of a brilliant career that would have been aborted had the horse performed well initially as a two-year-old.

Maybe Maxfield will be that kind, but there is always the chance he'll get swallowed up by the pace pressure like Dennis' Moment or Coliseum . . . never to be heard from again. Cautiously optimistic and lookin' forward to seein' what he has for em'.
