Appearance.
He caught my eye. Shiny coat, the groom kept his head tucked down. Had a nice confident walk. Would have liked to see more of a fitness line, but some horses just don't show that. Made a real good appearance.
The race.
2 confirmed front runners and 2 other EP horses. Combined 12 speed points up front. So in the next race we want to see the same situation, would not mind to see 1 less EP horse. Would also want this guy drawn outside of the speed here. He was also in a race that had 5 others that were ranked higher than him speed figure wise. In the next race hope to have fewer than that.
Going to watch the replays a couple of times and see if what I remember was true. My memory says he was in good position on the rail, then dropped back suddenly on the last turn, only to close with a very strong run.
