Like people the horse may have been ouchy today, or not game for the race so he put in a game but not over worked effort today.
Kinda what i am saying. Truth is we'll never know. Two more starts then he becomes Don Juan!
Thats true. I think tetrick was told get the job done but save the horse today. The ears and expressions were most likely because the horse was amiss he wasnt asked for anything today. While still waiting for his cue.
I think you nailed it. I was looking for the button press and i think Confederate was too
Waiting to assault world record during grand circuit?
I was there. Agree with Fug he didn't seem quite as sharp today, but maybe that was the plan -- just win the race. Warmed up the same as the WR mile. Left to get around the crab --- first over grinded to the lead and cleared by two lengths. Conditions weren't the same --70s, drizzling all afternoon -- no humidity. More like a fast training mile for him. Which proves how dominant he is. Apparently he's racing once more at the Red Mile -- then maybe Indiana -- then definitely retirement. Impressive mile for the day -- Mammamia Volo -- a fifth of a second off the WR.
