Horse has to start leaving a little Can’t give up thst much ground alwsys
Driver is also a TOOL to win. James o Mac is not a stake driver. With him and the fact the horse can't leave he won't be a player.
You try making up ground in a 53.2 last half off weak cover. I doubt if he's eligible to NYSS, he's never been off of a big track in his life. He'll be fine.
The horse CAN'T leave and Cassie hasn't trained him to leave. He will always be a victim of pace and if they walk the dog to half or 3/4 he has no shot against good horses.
Some of them can't leave. If the horse only has one good move in him, doesn't matter how you train him, that's how it is. He will pick up checks if he can rocket home. But the real good ones have more than one move in them. Maybe be doesn't.
I agree 100% with that. He showed the weakness last yr not being able to get into good spot. coming a big back half only means you walked the first half and didn't get yourself into position. It's just a way to make the owners feel good "he came back half in 53- so he's a gorilla! LOL problem is he went his first half in 57- Don't mean jack squat when the race goes 49.3 and your no where close at the half.
