Looks like a new and improved horse this year. Yannick just a passenger in 49.1 1st start of the year.

I’ll be curious to see how long he last. Last 1/4 2 seconds slower than the other 3 don’t usually work well in the long run

26.4 26.4 26.4  28.4 

Don't know if he's improved ... just out of control today.  Yannick even had the whip out and rattled the bike a few times down the stretch.

These fractions and results could/should happen in early may depending at what track this occurred at. However, as spring turns into summer, you will need a faster last quarter as races could/should go faster.

Faster than 120.2 to 3/4 at Chester?  That won't happen ten times the entire year there.  IMO what he did today is too fast for longevity.

Really?? Look at the first division for 3yr old pacers last year. 48.4. And that was Stallion Series. Oh and Nancy too.

Those fractions are real fast for a NW1. Out of control horses usually wear out.

Was a runaway.  Good horses will track him and goby with that last quarter.  Clearly has talent if they can control his speed.

Maybe if Yannick took his fucking handholds up maybe he could control one

Definitely had something to do with it.  He wasn’t ready for that horse to launch like that.  Who was the decent 3yo last year the was like that?  Was it Christchurch?

He did urge with a couple taps on the bike.  Horse looked like he was losing interest and he didn’t want him walking home.

He gave him 3 good ones on the turn. This is a great example of what is wrong with the industry. Complete ignorance by the judges employed by the state of PA. Why would you not call In Yanick and Nancy about that absolute change in performance. He looked like a 5 claimer in his qualifier
