He won in 151 last night.. came away 5th pulled between the quarter and half following Jody's nice 2 year old. Cleared before the turn. Down the stretch McClure was like a statue in the sulky..except his head of course . The article that whiptherabbit posted is a good read. The horse won't leave Canada all year. OSS gold final, the metro, and the breeders crown.
I don’t think Jody’s colt can beat him but last night BM gave him no chance. Locked him in the pocket and never let him out.
McClure did the right thing--and moved to follow Jamiesons piece at the perfect timein case Jody had more-he never would /could have been able to show ithaving said that--the horse deserves a top driver
The 2YOs are still developing! Look at Mr. Mamba last night at HP, 149.2! I am looking forward to the Elevation Pace for 2YOs at HP on the 19th of September! Frantic Hanover is eligible, so is Another C Note, Mamba and Richie from Indy!! That race will go a long ways toward sorting out some of the top tier 2YOs!
Obviously a nice colt. Talented. At this point, LOL. But he certainly looks like he has the potential makings. Moore is a very sharp horseman. Excellent track record of developing and campaigning young horses. He knows what he's doing. Even if this colt was staked to everything, Moore may have kept him home anyway. The Metro and the BC are two very big dances so he'll have his shot. The Gold is no cakewalk either. I like this colt. Big, but very efficient, very well gaited, gets over the ground well. I hope he keeps going forward, develops, matures, etc.
When I mention Ian Moore people reply "he's a vet"...
