Limousine Liberal

First class horse.
7F optimal trip - loves the slop and Churchill Downs.

Ran a big race at Belmont yesterday.
Here's what his trainer said this morning:

"He's come back well & scoped clean," trainer Ben Colebrook said one day after #LimousineLiberal's Bel Sprint Championship (G2) win. "Four weeks is a little quick to come back for the (July 28 Alfred G.) Vanderbilt (G1) so we will look to the (Aug 25) Forego (G1) & target that."

Nice horse, is it me or does the sprint division seem a little light this year?

Let's see. A 3 yr old filly ran 1 1/4 miles then crossed the Atlantic and ran another 1 1/4 miles . 2 mile and a quarter races in a week. But 4 weeks apart is too short for a 6 yr old gelding to run 2 sprints?

Yeah, think it is. Roy H hasn't looked the same this year. Mind Your Biscuits tried longer and hasn't won a sprint in the US in a year so who knows about him and where he'll be pointed. Division is ripe for some horse to come out of nowhere and take over.

The sad state of racing today.

LL is a good horse. Value probably on the decline unless he faces a big name next out.

Thought he was 2nd/3rd choice Saturday, but ended up the 9/5 favorite. Still paid well in multis. I'm a bit worried that next race he'll be a clear favorite in a similar field. I like LL better as mid/low price that can win or contend in a close race. Sit a trip, out-finish a couple others. Not really expecting dominant, electric, 1st-run/draw-off efforts.

If the Breeders Cup is at Churchill, LL has to be a contender. I know he finally ran a big race outside of KY, but I think he likes the "regimen" that he is allowed better in the Commonwealth.

I want to see how Chief Cicatriz runs at Del Mar.

He was entered and scratched recently but I didn't have time to read anything about why.
