I think people have overrated or have unreasonable expectations Beau Jangles for a number of reasons:
1) He has only one start on a track other than Mohawk and that was a "ship" of less that 1 hour.
2) Most of the year he beat up on Ontario sired horses. Just because he beat Grand Circuit horses at two does not translate into domination at three.
I don't necessarily disagree with either point. I will say though, he really had a more impressive look than most coming into his 3yo year, and even his first couple this year. I think he's regressed as opposed to just others getting better, but I could be wrong.
If he's being a little sulky, a change of venue might actually help him some. But they've got to be thinking long and hard about sending him south.
