135k - broke his Mdn @ Kee, 67K - lacked late response on T at Elp; weakened late on the dirt at CD; won w/a game nod to break his Mdn. Got a jock switch on a sloppy/sealed gaining late but not enough in the G2 KJCS w/a CR 120 in a sharp effort; only 3 works since last, not particularly sparkling, why only 3 works?; low RR; low early CR; ascending speed figures highest 94; good mud: 19% / 17%; poor JKYw/Trn/Routes; needs to get through; CD fits 11f.
TIGHT TEN DP = 7-10-14-1-0 (32) DI = 3.00 CD = 0.72
225k - broke his Mdn first asking @ CD, 51k; - 2nd in G2 SarSpl; 2nd in G2 Iroquois; hit the rail in the BCJ; repetitive gate, rail traffic problems; 6 works @ FG relatively sharp, would like to have seen gate work; good RR; good CR; even speed figures before the BCJ highest 92; best mud: 18% / 20%; good JKYw/Trn/Routes; needs a clean break, good trip; CD fit.
WAR OF WILL DP = 5-8-17-4-0 (34) DI = 1.72 CD = 0.41
298.6k - broke his Mdn last out @ CD, 76k - 2nd in G1 T Summer; 2nd G3 T Bourbon; chased in the G1 BCJT; appears to be the class of the field; five works, four sharp ones, one bullet; low RR; good CR; ascending speed figures highest 94; poor mud: 13% / 11%; best JKYw/Trn/Routes; gets the dpi; no excuses; CD fits 12f.
