This was a 3YO I thought was going to be OK in the Belmont, after he made a big run in the Derby to finish 4th to Super Saver. Seems he got in some trouble in the Belmont and was put on the shelf after he popped a splint. He's been off all this time, but he's training like a good horse and switches to turf against straight 3YO's in the Oak Tree Derby Saturday. Any thoughts concerning his chances? TJ

Been waiting for his return, and was very disappointed in how he ran this weekend!
Hi 27,
I thought so too....especially the way he was training going into the race. Let's hope he just didn't like the grass this time and nothing happened to him. TJ
