As I posted after NA Cup eliminations, he is off behind. Is that the reason he has been getting beat? Who knows? Some can go with soreness, some can't. Also, sometimes a horse never gets any faster from 2 years old to 3 while others do.
If you trained, owned BJ would you ever allow this driver on that horse who from his own words is absolutely riddled with fear to lose on him, and before you answer please listen for yourself?This is from May 17, 2026, Mohawk Race 7 BJ's second pm win as a 3yo after his layoff.Pick it up at 5m mark, he's asked about the "pressure" in the interview of driving BJ...."I don't want to make a mistake that is going to tarnish this horse's legacy in the end.""I don't want to do anything that's going to be a blemish on there."https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N71JUCGrf0E
They'll get it figured out and fixed! Definitely looks like there's alot of "HeadScratching" going on right now. There's also probably some "throwing darts and see what sticks also happening". I don't think that he will continue much longer if he doesn't show improvement, but what do I know??
Yeah, I think they're at a tipping point now. If they can't right the ship here quickly, his stud value's going to start to tarnish. For everyone wanting to blame the driver, that's your prerogative, but it's not the only thing going on here. Anyone who thinks so hasn't been around many, if any, horses, as I think MCR was alluding to.
As I've said before NO! Just watched the replay, couldn't watch last nightBad drive, getting cooked to a half in 53..but having said that, the horse doesn't look right. Something is off there.Brandon Blvd the best 3 year old this year with the best driver
