If the Cali speed thing is a problem then asnwer this, why did the so called speed horses that were near him coming around the turn in California (Santa Antia specif speed favoring track) no were to be seen at finish? I his win was just because the track was speed favoring wouldnt the other horses have at least been close at finish cause the track being speed favoring should have carried the speed anyway, well I see he is a very good horse and was bred to be so not like most peeps think these owners know what their doing.
