Rich Strike PPs before KY Derby

_____________


after getting 10th in a MSW race he won a Maiden Claimer and then proceeded to lose everywhere he went before the Derby

he got 3rd in an AOC race

then 5th, 3rd and 4th in black type stakes and then 3rd in a Grade 3 stakes


the obvious explanation is that here is a late bloomer who is dramatically improving

and his improving speed figures seem to bear this out




but is there another possible explanation_______???

is this a horse who often chooses not to give his all for whatever reason_____???

in other words, is this a horse worth betting against_______????



your opinion_____________thanks

It was just a fluke ....

2nd and 3rd horses ran their expected races...

RS didn't and will probably never win another Grade 1 Race..

With that said...watch him win The Belmont
