Art Official won the Cane at Freehold a month later(after M1 Pace) then wasn't very good after that.

Class act, SBSW of course but I particularly liked Village Jasper. Won the Confederation Cup
back when it was 3 yr old race. Interesting enough, The Provincial Cup was just the opposite, as they
raced older horse like Cardigan Bay, then made it a 3 yr old race,  before they go shut down. sad

Yes he won his LBJ elim but was extremely steppy all day long

Pierce did a masterful job holding him together

Seekman refused an interview after the shaky elim--he wasn't happy

Shadow Play crushed the field in The Final and it was no contest

a month later AO did pace a meaningless 49 mile at Lexington but a lot of horses did

he was a dud as a stud

Remember I told you Ricardo Santana wasn't on the #3 in the second race today. If you google, Paulick Report, Wrong Jockey Listed for Saratoga Race, there's a big story about it.
