Thunderian: Look For a Move Forward on the Stretchout

Comebacker made his sprint debut today and this may have been a prep. While he was away slowly, he was rushed up to settle behind the leaders up the backstretch and moved to the outside as then entered the turn. The soph couldn’t keep up with the two leaders in the stretch, but he did […]

Irish Honor: May Need a Race on the Outside

Looked like a green 2-year-old up the backstretch with his head held up high while dropping back to near the back around the turn under the whip.

The filly wanted to go, but she was wrangled back by her jock up the backstretch and was alone around the turn behind three runners who were well clear. She […]

Swift Tap: Wide Throughout Trip While Track Favored the Inside
