You were close & if he could have got on his stablemates back we might have seen a sub 46 mile. For Once Inmy Life could not keep up to the rabbit & that might have made the difference. Still a great mile by a great colt imo.

he is clearly a great horse
but today was not a race
stablemate acts as rabbit to cut fractions and confederate race a qtr and a bit
its a glorified time trial

of course it wasnt a "race". It never was going to be how could it. He dwarfs the better 3 year olds around. these kind of horses wouldn't normally be on the track with him.

Astonishing how "conservatively" he was driven and now he is the fastest 3 year old ever.
