Today at Pocono in 10th race with ATOMIX HANOVER there were many top drivers available going for $300k. Drivers like KAKALY, Wilder, Buter, Bartlett. Palone, Callahan, Napolitano, Andrew McCarthy, Svanstedt, Dexter Dunne due to scratch. Lots of very good drivers available. Finished 6th. Not terrible drive but never got in hunt. Horse cannot race from behind. Raced very hard first few starts. if I owned him he would be turned out for year and brought back in January. Nice colt but now stung. Started out maxed out. Was on top of game from Qualifier but now needs greed cash!
i dont think he hides the fact he trains them hard likely tries to get as much cash as possible at two so owners can re investevery horse is different in how much they can take at 2 beau jangles should have been the poster boy, big strong colt, never travelled and yet ne comes back just average at 3 for whatever reasonthe challenge is how do you protect them at 2 especially in the first 5 starts while they are still developingif horse is good enough and you go in early sires stakes thinking to go around 151-152 and they blast at 150 the horse and driver will try to keep up
