The work makes no sense whatsoever. It had to be more than just a 3/8ths breeze. Think about it.
Runs 5 1/2F and 15 days later you work 3/8ths, then wait 14 days to run 7/8ths??? Weird. But not if it was a 7/8ths type work that was 15,15,14,14,12 2/5ths, 12,12. If THATS the case, it is a real nice set up. I used to do that all the time. Maybe he does as well. If that's the case, the horse might set off a bit more, like 5 lengths and pick it up as they go. Paco suggests aggressive and nearer to the lead so mixed messages there but that's ok with me. I did not realize that Gary's numbers were that weak. I see what you mean.
All in all, if you are trying to beat Chad, Irad, and Clement, and why not try, this one makes sense too me. Probably worth a swing as I see nothing to discourage trying.
On a side note, from the earlier post, following Kate, a graduate of my mentor, she is a clone of most of us when it comes to managing babies. Improve 2nd out, win 3rd out. Keep an eye on that one next time. But it won't be much price. Kind of fun to watch a movie unfold just the way you figured it would though. That stuff so few people see, but you and others that read here can.
Best of luck if you play.
Thanks JBEX !
