Belterra · September 19, 2026 · Race 3

dirt · 5 1/2 Furlongs

Good trip (-)

He broke best and quickly cleared off in the early stages, was nursed along on the lead before eventually being urged to begin quickening when an outside rival approached at the midway point of the far turn, but after trying to maintain his edge and leaving the rail open leading into the stretch, coughed up the lead to an inside rival and then failed to hold place money in the final 1/16. This was a GOOD TRIP THROUGHOUT that offered no visual excuses!

Pace: The pace was NORMAL.

Keeneland · April 3, 2026 · Race 1

dirt · 4 1/2 Furlongs

Start (+) Horse comfort (+) Ground saving trip (-)

Was 12-1 ML. He was off 1+L slow (last) leaving the gate, responded to urging and showed useful speed to keep pace while also dealing with some MILD DISCOMFORT (in spots) from the sloppy kickback in the early and middle stages, and after getting some help from a ground saving trip and being driven up the fence in the stretch, was (briefly) ridden with caution to slip past a tiring pacesetter while glued to the fence, and then driven out in the final furlong. A tough trip on debut, she's deserving a MILD UPGRADE headed into start #2.

Pace: The pace was SLOW.

Start (+) Moderate pace pressure from the outer flow / Poor turf trip (+)

An outward break and negative bump were evident and not mentioned in the PPs! This likely cost him some quickness! He showed nice speed to earn a clear stalking spot while following the race favorite from the outside in the early stages, prompted and pressed the leader from the 3F marker and was eventually coaxed to get serious leading into the stretch, but despite winning the battle of the speeds from the outer flow, he was unable to resist 1-2 finishers in the final furlong! A solid try in defeat should UPGRADED on some level moving forward!

Pace: The pace was UNKNOWN (PLEASE NOTE THAT TRIP NOTES WITHOUT TRUE PACE ANALYSIS ARE USEFUL, BUT NOT NEARLY AS VALAUBLE WHEN ACCURATE PACE FIGURES ARE AVAILABLE).

Good trip / Ground saving trip (-) Horse comfort (+) Jockey upgrade (+)

Was 12-1 ML. He showed useful speed to settle into a good enough spot by (mostly) himself as the backstretch progressed, began gaining as he saved ground and worked forward on his own in the far turn, and after appearing to have a chance at the 3/16 and eventually working off the rail and into the clear with 1F remaining, stalled in the late stages. Yes, this was a good enough trip on debut, but he also gave the impression of having some talent while lacking fitness! We believe he deserves a MILD NUDGE FORWARD headed into start #2!

Start not in the PPs (+) Recovery / Exacerbated fractions (+)

Was 7/2 ML. He was off 1L slowly and also veered outward, which cost him even more quickness at the start, which is NOT mentioned in the PPs! He showed off SOLID SPEED at the expense of EXACERBATED FRACTIONS to earn a clear stalking spot (of the race favorite) down the backstretch, gained into the far turn and moved alongside to take a share of the lead with 5/16 remaining, and after quickening and gaining separation from the others in the middle stages, tried hard to get past in the final 1/4 mile, but was just unable to get past a stubborn foe at the inside in the lane! A TOUGH TRIP and solid showing on debut deserves an UPGRADE on some level moving into start #2!

VS pace (+) Benefited (-)

He BROKE VERY FAST and quickly earned a clear lead in the early stages, raced unopposed down the backstretch before picking up the pace into the far turn, but after trying to gain some separation through HONEST SPLITS in the far turn, he was unable to hold off an outside rival that had stalked throughout, and he was overtaken and left chasing with more than 1/4-mile remaining. Yes, he did some heavy lifting in this race, but he also caught a 'flyer' from the gate and dictated terms, which was to his benefit. We'll call this trip NEUTRAL OVERALL.

Pace: The pace was HONEST (the race favorite did not finish this race, which benefited all other runners).

Pace pressure (+) Mild pace beneficiary (-) Jockey downgrade (-)

He was urged for speed and did well to make the lead while being prompted by the race favorite to his outside down the backstretch, was urged to keep up the pace as he was fully engaged and put to a drive at the 5/16 to hold him off, but after being overtaken and left chasing into the stretch, he faltered in the lane. Yes, he took some pace pressure in this race, but he also benefited from fractions that should have helped speed types, leading us to a NEUTRAL designation moving forward.

Pace: The pace was NORMAL / SLOWER THAN NORMAL.

Parx · September 20, 2025 · Race 12

dirt · 6 Furlongs

Pace pressure (+) Flow (-)

He showed solid speed to earn the lead while being prompted by a 50-1 longshot down the backstretch, was quietly ridden despite receiving moderate pressure on the front end throughout, and after being coaxed into the lane and cutting the corner while being driving to sprint, edged away from the field to seal the deal upset score! A nice win to overcome some pressure on the front end would normally be given a push forward, but when longshots runners (23-1, 50-1 & 80-1) all stick around to fill the trifecta, it's hard to give too much credit despite reaching the finish line first.

Pace: The pace was NORMAL.

Pace beneficiary (-) Brief / Moderate pace pressure (+) Jockey upgrade (+)

He broke running and showed nice speed to earn a short lead early, got away with COMMON SPLITS while also being joined by outside competition as the backstretch progressed, and after responding to urging and quickly shooting forward to take a clear lead through the far turn, was eventually urged to sprint for the finish after being allowed to drift a bit wide into the lane and failing to switch leads in the stretch. A better trip than most (see summary) will be MILDLY DOWNGRADED moving forward.

Pace: The pace was SLOWER THAN NORMAL.

Oaklawn · April 12, 2025 · Race 8

dirt · 6 Furlongs

Prolonged pace pressure (+) Bias aided (-)

He earned a short lead while being prompted by an outside rival down the backstretch, continued to be pestered by the runner to his outside through the far turn as these (2) leaders raced ~6L clear of the others in the far turn, and after a quiet ride and finally being sent to kick leading into the stretch, gained a short advantage and stayed on gamely to barely reach the finish first as a trio of outside rivals furiously closed the gap in the final furlong! Yes, he was aided from a track that favored speed (the other speed finished 3rd), but he was also hounded throughout, which deserves some bonus points for overcoming the persistent pressure!

Pace: The pace was NORMAL.

Track bias: Slight / Strong front running

Mild traffic (+) Finish / Gallop out (+) Jockey upgrade (+)

She showed nice speed to secure a spot in a tight pocket late on the backstretch, appeared to be traveling VERY WELL in the far turn as this rider began trying to push his way off the inside leading into the stretch, but after being hemmed in and idling to allow the others to clear off, eased into the clear, and then showed a big burst to blow past while being lightly handled, and then showed off a MASSIVE gallop out after the race, fleeing the scene and the leave the pack far, far behind! There was clearly more under the hood after a trip that we'll call neutral overall. Upgrade this performance!

Good trip (-) Game (+)

He showed nice speed after a so-so break from the gate to earn a clear stalking spot down the backstretch, benefited from DAWDLING FRACTIONS throughout and was ridden quietly and with confidence while inching closer to the leader in the far turn, and after being coaxed to get more serious with 1/4-mile remaining and eventually being driven to sprint, won the battle up front and did just enough to hold sway despite failing to change leads in the stretch! A GOOD TRIP in victory, he makes start #2 off the bench and retains his previous jockey.

Pace: The pace was a DAWDLE THROUGHOUT.

Colonial Downs · August 1, 2026 · Race 7

dirt · 7 Furlongs

Good trip (-) Jockey upgrade (+)

He landed on a cozy stalking spot of a DAWDLING LEADER down the backstretch, continued to stalk through the far turn and was eventually urged to get serious with a little less than 5/16 remaining, and after a willing finish through the lane, was finally able to grind past a stubborn pacesetter to gain the upper hand when passing the 1/16 pole! A PERFECT TRIP in victory, he cuts back in distance and a new jockey takes over.

Pace: The pace was a DAWDLE THROUGHOUT.

Churchill · June 29, 2025 · Race 10

dirt · 7 Furlongs

He raced just off the pace while a bit wide down the backstretch, inched forward as the backstretch progressed and appeared strong into the far turn and he raced 3-3+W while in hand and circling, and after a confident ride and finally being driven to kick at the top of the lane, finished willingly through the lane to drive clear and score convincingly. A neutral trip overall, he takes on his toughest competition to date and looks to extend his unbeaten streak!

Pace: The pace was EVEN.

Colonial Downs · March 15, 2025 · Race 6

Was 5-2 ML. He settled just off the pace while following the outside stalker down the backstretch, eased 3-4W and began circling the leaders with a little more than 5/16 remaining, and when driven to kick leading into the stretch, POWERED away from the others while showing off BIG ENERGY and STRONG BODY LANGUAGE on the gallop out. A neutral trip overall, he returns from a short freshening to try winners for the first time.

Pace: The pace was NORMAL.

Track bias: None

Gulfstream · August 29, 2026 · Race 8

Good trip (-) Jockey upgrade (+)

He settled on a neutral spot from off the pace down the backstretch, got some help through the middle stages as a trio of leaders began to apply pressure while competing through HONEST FRACTIONS in the far turn, and after responding to urging (3W) and angling 4-5W to work into the clear for the stretch drive, finished willingly to close ground and earn place money! A GOOD TRIP throughout, a top rider taking the call can only help the cause!

Pace: The pace was HONEST.

Gulfstream · November 8, 2025 · Race 6

dirt · 1 Mile

He settled at the back of a compact field while with the outer flow in the early stages, did well to begin circling when MILDLY COAXED to gain through the far turn (3-3+W), and after being driven to finish with a little less than 1/4 remaining, did the best work when it mattered to overhaul (2) runners to his inside in the final furlong; a NEUTRAL TRIP throughout.

Pace: The pace was NORMAL.

Good trip (-)

He raced under a snug hold at the inside while targeting open air and HONEST FRACTIONS from a ground saving position throughout, and after gaining steam and looking like a VERY GOOD THING in the far turn, eased 2-3-4W to quickly circle foes into the stretch, and then finished well through the lane to barely drive past an inside foe that had done all of the heavy lifting on the front end! A good trip throughout will be DOWNGRADED moving forward!

Pace: The pace was HONEST.

Gulfstream · February 6, 2025 · Race 8

synthetic · 1 1/16 Miles

Start (+) Good trip (-) Jockey downgrade (-)

An inward break and negative bump could have cost him a little quickness, which is not mentioned in the PPs. He showed nice speed to prompt a leader to his outside through the first turn, idled to take control of the pocket leading onto the backstretch and rating kindly through the middle stages, and when a lineup of (3) evolved in front of him in the far turn, he drafted behind rivals before making an split and aggressive move for the front leading into the stretch. A good trip throughout, he cuts back in distance and changes surfaces today!

Pace: The pace was a DAWDLE THROUGHOUT.

Gulfstream · May 3, 2024 · Race 1

Good trip (-) Dominant (+) Jockey upgrade (+)

Was 7-2 ML. He was urged to keep pace to stalk in the early stages, began to get moving in the far turn and inched forward to move alongside and then past at the 5/16, and after more hand urging when he hit the front, powered away in the lane under good strides before coasting late. A clean trip in victory, added ground could be a bonus.

Pace: The pace was SLOWER THAN NORMAL.

Gulfstream · August 1, 2026 · Race 8

Moderate pressure (+) Jockey upgrade (+)

He showed nice speed to earn a short lead while being prompted by an INSIDE runner down the backstretch, was ridden quietly as the runner to his inside advanced to reach, "on even terms" headed into the far turn, and after responding to coaxing to gain the upper hand and inching away from the 5/16 pole, was driven to seal the deal leading into the stretch, and he powered away emphatically! A trip that could be called NEUTRAL or offered a MILD UPGRADE, he's freshened for today's race, and a new jockey takes over.

Pace: The pace was NORMAL.

Ellis Park · August 22, 2026 · Race 4

dirt · 6 1/2 Furlongs

Bad spots / Trouble not in the PPs (+)

He was ridden pretty hard to try and get out from underneath the rail draw down the backstretch, but after prolonged asking and not able to make the lead, the runner to his outside cleared off and dropped to the rail into the far turn, which led to this one being shuffled and losing about 3L overall, which is NOT MENTIONED in the PPs! He was SENT to recover while saving ground in the far turn, eventually gathered momentum and began angling to the outside leading into the stretch, and after a strong final 3/16, overtook those in front of him while also holding off those that benefited from the HONEST PACE! This was a BIG EFFORT vs lesser that should be UPGRADED!

Pace: The pace was HONEST.

Churchill · November 30, 2024 · Race 7

dirt · 1 Mile

Jockey upgrade (+)

He was outquicked early and settled wide down the backstretch, was idled to allow a couple of runners to clear off to allow an inward path headed into the far turn, but after saving ground and being nudged along to quicken as the far turn progressed, continued to fail to respond when put to whip urging, and was eventually given a token ride in the final furlong. An uneventful and neutral trip in defeat, he returns from a short layoff and draws the inside post.

Pace: The pace was NORMAL.

Saratoga · August 24, 2024 · Race 7

Bias aided (-)

He settled off the pace and on the faster part of the track down the backstretch, continued 3-3+W through the turn with open air to his outside, and was never involved in the stretch. A trip that was bias-aided in defeat, we'll downgrade this performance moving forward.

Start / More speed (+) Pace pressure (+)

Not only did he veer inward pretty bad at the start, but he awkwardly hit the gate while blasting off for the front! This runner is QUICK AND FAST! He was prompted by an outside foe down the backstretch, was forced to resist near the 5/16 as a second rival joined the fray, but after willingly fighting to hold in the lane, he weakened a bit when it mattered. A solid debut given the start and consistent pressure, it was also nice to see him win the battle of the speed types!

Ignore the comment in the PPs concerning the start as the contact with the gate meant NOTHING! He showed solid speed to earn a clear stalking spot of the leader to his inside down the backstretch, was nursed along through the far turn (3W) and eventually SENT to sprint leading into the stretch, and after a willing finish and poking a neck in front with 1F to go, held firm as (3) rivals chased him all the way through the finish. A GOOD TRIP and game victory also, a new jockey takes it from here.

He showed useful speed and was guided inward to stalk the SLOW-PACED leader from a ground saving spot throughout, was ridden quietly into the far turn appeared to have a say as he was put to increased pressure outside of the 1/4 pole, but after tipping off the rail and being driven to sprint in the final 3/16 he was unable to reach a winner that enjoyed a PERFECT STALKING TRIP throughout. A NEUTRAL TRIP overall, this was also a solid performance to reach and tag an original pacesetter that enjoyed a SWEET TRIP on the front end throughout!

He raced under a SNUG HOLD as he followed "prompting leaders' that got away with DAWDLING FRACTIONS on the lead down the backstretch, and after inching forward while 2+W through the far turn and LEANING INWARD when approaching the stretch drive, was STEERED OUTWARD while CONTINUING TO LUG inward, and was never able to level off WHILE cautiously pulled outward to avoid causing trouble for the runners that he was overtaking at his inside! A MASSIVE EFFORT in victory, he EXPLODED LATE once freed and put to a drive, and galloped out HUGE after the race, hinting that it he hadn't lugged in for most of the stretch drive, he might have won by a VERY BIG MARGIN!

He showed nice speed to inch his way into a drafting position from just behind the leaders as the backstretch progressed, dealt with in-between spots into the far turn and responded to urging to gain and work 3W and into the clear by the time he led into the stretch, and after driving past to take the lead in the lane, was DEAD GAME to resist an outside rivals that leveled off STRONGLY down the middle of the track! A big effort in victory, we'd recommend calling this NEUTRAL or even offering A MILD UPGRADE moving forward!

Pace: The pace was NORMAL.

he broke best and showed beautiful natural speed to take control without being asked into the first turn, continued unopposed through the middle stages while getting a bit of a breather as the pace slowed before heading into the far turn, but when coaxed as the outside rivals approached, he was unable to hold his lead despite initially responding to the pressure. A good trip throughout, he cuts back a bit in distance and a new jockey takes over.

Pace: The pace was NORMAL & SLOW IN THE MIDDLE STAGES.

Bad spots (+) VS pace (+)

He prompted the leader to his inside while also dealing with company from an outside "stalker" that forced him to apply pressure down the backstretch, was URGED to quicken when that same stalker circled and joined the leaders with 3F remaining (this resulted in him being put to a drive from in-between rivals), and after dealing with prolonged bad spots and HONEST FRACTIONS that made things even tougher, he understandably tired in the stretch! A TOUGH TRIP in defeat should be EXCUSED or UPGRADED as you see fit!

He broke well and showed good quickness early before being slightly and steadily outpaced down the backstretch, and when urged to stop the bleed while wide headed into the far turn, failed to respond while racing 4+W before being allowed to drift 6+W when conceding defeat. A neutral trip overall offered no visual clues. The drop in class makes sense.

He broke running and earned a good stalking spot down the backstretch while keep an eye on a clear pacesetter and second choice on the tote board, was urged and given a strong hand ride as the turn progressed as the leader looked to be traveling the better of the two for the majority of the race, and after staying on gamely (2+W) and grinding away in the lane, eventually moved alongside and past to get the win. A good stalking trip throughout, it's also worth mentioning that this track favored speed, which certainly helped both runners separate themselves from the pack.

He raced wide while stalking a trio of leaders that pressed one another down the backstretch and into the far turn, responded to urging and began gaining despite being stuck 4W throughout the far turn, and after successfully circling the embattled duo and claiming a short lead before reaching the 3/16 pole, POWERED AWAY in the lane to run up the score through the lane. A wide trip that also benefited from a good position, we'll call this trip neutral overall as he takes on winners for the first time.

Pace: The pace was NORMAL.

Gulfstream · January 11, 2025 · Race 4

We have nothing to add for this trip. He was outquicked early, showed mild discomfort from the kickback for a couple of brief moments (early and entering the far turn), and failed to get involved while being driven to play catch up. He takes a meaningful drop in class and changes gears while 'routing on grass.'

He raced from just off the pace while in the clear and 3+W down the backstretch, was urged to pick up the pace and put to a STRONG RIDE to try and gain while 3W throughout the far turn, and although he didn't reach the front by the finish line, he gained steadily for the entire stretch and was dead game to come up just a touch short. A neutral trip in defeat, he draws an inside post and takes on MSW company today.

Bad start (+) Jockey downgrade (-)

The only thing worth considering is captured in the PPs, and that is that he shook his head badly as the gate was being opened, and he lost 4+L at the start, which spelled D-E-F-E-A-T. He kept pace at the inside down the backstretch (under coaxing), was gradually eased 2-3-4W after racing all by himself through the far turn, and finished willingly through the lane despite failing to threaten, but clearly this outcome would have been different if not for being eliminated at the start!

There are several things to note for this runner: 1) He targeted SLOW FRACTIONS from off the pace, which put him at a distinct disadvantage. 2) He lost ground when the pace picked up through the far turn, which gave him a TON of work to do in the last 5/16. 3) After easing to the 2-path leading into the stretch and driven to finish, he grinded through a tight in-between spot at the 3/16, and then drove through another in-between spot at the 1/16 pole! 4) This track STRONGLY favored speed! There appears to be much upside here!

There are a few things worth noting for this runner: 1) He was off a hair slow (nearly1L) from the rail spot, which is not mentioned in the PPs. 2) After being slightly outpaced down the backstretch, he was gaining a little into the far turn when a Closer to his outside moved past, which resulted in some caution and "an idle." 3) After saving ground through the far turn, he looked to close through traffic in the lane, but these were tight quarters and he didn't exactly FLY through these spots! A tough trip overall, we recommend an UPGRADE on some level.

He targeted open air and a contested lead entering the far turn, which was a good thing, but then had no real options but travel 4-5-6W through the entire far turn! A wide trip in defeat, he stayed on well to sustain his kick and grind in the stretch, but couldn't reach the winner while also appearing to lean inward a bit. A solid try after covering so much ground, a new rider takes over in start #2 off of the bench.

He followed a pair of leaders (from just of the pace and inward) that vied for command down the backstretch, drafted behind the leaders in the far turn as a new challenger squared off with a race favorite that had already been challenged through the early stages, and when room was available at the inside leading into the stretch, finished well to earn the position and draw away in the final furlong.

A solid try after a tough trip (start, vs pace, gallop out) deserves an extra look as he takes on more ground.

Ellis Park · August 17, 2026 · Race 8

dirt · 6 1/2 Furlongs

Good trip (-)

He settled on an open-air position from just off the pace down the backstretch, got some help through the far turn as the (2) leaders in front of him raced head and head as he continued in the clear while 3W-3+W throughout, but after being put to a drive with a little more than 1/4 remaining, he was simply unable to forge to the front and he got the shortest end of the stick a blanket finish of (4) that decided the outcome! A GOOD TRIP throughout offered no excuses and should be DOWNGRADED moving forward!

Pace: The pace was NORMAL.

Churchill · September 13, 2025 · Race 10

dirt · 6 Furlongs

Bad spots (+)

He raced in a neutral spot from just off the pace early, dealt with some 'loose and in-between spots' in the far turn and lost a little ground to the leaders through the middle stages, but although he never appeared to be a threat in this race, he finished willingly when freed up to level in the last 1/4 mile, barely snatching place money right on the finish line. A mostly NEUTRAL TRIP overall, he draws the outside post position and meets a couple of common opponents from this race.

Pace: The pace was NORMAL.

Keeneland · April 8, 2025 · Race 7

dirt · 7 Furlongs

Start (+) Pace beneficiary (-)

he broke inward and appeared to brush the gate, losing ~2L at the start, which is somewhat captured in the PPs. He was patiently handled early while benefiting from VERY FAST FRACTIONS in front of him, was coaxed to pick up the pace while saving good enough ground through the far turn (mostly 2W), and after cutting to the rail leading into the stretch, was outfinished. Yes, the start was bad, but he did get some help to recover as a result of the pace, but was unable to do anything with it.

Pace: The pace was VERY FAST THROUGHOUT.

Churchill · September 14, 2024 · Race 9

dirt · 6 Furlongs

Good trip (-)

He raced in hand while following a race favorite that got away with an uncontested lead through common splits throughout, appeared to be traveling well enough through the middle stages as he raced 2-3W through the far turn, and after leveling to try and pick up the leader but losing his spot to an eventual winner that rolled home down the middle of the track, he cut inward in the late stages to finish up by himself while earning show money in the process. A good trip throughout, he draws an inside while looking to become a millionaire.

Pace: The pace was SLOWER THAN NORMAL.

Turfway Park · March 9, 2024 · Race 7

synthetic · 6 Furlongs

Pre-race nerves (+) Start (+) Excused (+) Jockey upgrade (+)

He was VERY FRACTIOUS in the gate, shaking his head violently and even rearing up pretty bad, and not surprisingly, he was off 1+L slow (last) and lost every potential position. He was outquicked early and relegated to a lag and rally trip, raced 2-3-4-5W while gaining through the far turn, but after reaching contention at the top of the lane, flattened. It seems quite safe to draw a line through this race given his pre-race antics off of the bench!

Pace: The pace was NORMAL.

Keeneland · April 8, 2023 · Race 5

dirt · 7 Furlongs

Start (+) Wide / Sustained rally (+) Game (+)

He was off 1L slow at the start, which is noted correctly in the PPs. He showed a strong recovery down the backstretch while wide on the course, continue to gain while traveling 4-5+W through the entire far turn, and after being ridden quietly approaching the stretch and looking good, finished gamely to barely get past the runner to his inside to secure the win. A big effort after a tardy beginning and wide journey deserves some praise!

Pace: The pace was SLOWER THAN NORMAL.

Saratoga · September 4, 2026 · Race 4

turf · 1 1/16 Miles

Outer flow / Wide vs pace (+)

While it did appear that she brushed the gate at the start, the contact meant NOTHING. Ignore the comment in the PPs! She quickly moved off the rail to join the outer flow into the clubhouse turn, followed the outside stalker through a SLOW FRACTIONS (EARLY) onto the backstretch, and when this rider made an early move to attack the leaders into the far turn, the pace quickened and she was stuck racing 3W before losing ground to the top (2) and then chasing 2+W (when repelled) as the far turn progressed. A TOUGH TURF TRIP overall will be EXCUSED moving forward!

Pace: The pace was SLOW EARLY.

Saratoga · September 4, 2026 · Race 4

turf · 1 1/16 Miles

Good trip (-)

She showed nice speed to earn a clear stalking spot through a SOFT first 1/4 mile early, stalked on her own through the middle stages before being SENT to hold her ground when a 3W rival quickened from the outside into the far turn, and after responding to the pressure and prompting while in hand through the far turn, did the best work of the speed types to take a clear advantage in the stretch, but was unable to resist when the chips were down and was overtaken by a winner that had a VERY GOOD POCKET JOURNEY throughout. A better trip than most, we'll MILDLY DOWNGRADE this effort moving forward.

Pace: The pace was SLOW EARLY.

Saratoga · June 4, 2026 · Race 1

dirt · 5 1/2 Furlongs

Start (+) VS pace (+) Clean trip (-) Bias aided / Ground saving trip (-)

Was 15-1 ML. She was off 1L slow leaving the gate before settling off the pace and on her own in the early stages, remained at the FASTER INSIDE throughout and was urged to pick up the tempo to gain through the far turn, and although she finished willingly in the lane, she was unable to close the gap on a wire-to-wire winner that had everything her own way on the front end. A trip that we believe was MOSTLY NEUTRAL, she received a little more ground and a new jockey takes over in start #2.

Pace: The pace was SLOW EARLY.

Track bias: Dirt: Slight / Strong inside Turf: UNKNOWN

Kentucky Downs · September 5, 2026 · Race 1

turf · 1 Mile

Good trip (-) Horse comfort (+) Jockey upgrade (+)

She was allowed to settle on her own near the back early, inched forward in the far turn as she followed a loose pocket rival that served as a "lead blocker" in the middle stages, and when the runner that was in front of her eased to the outside leading into the lane, she was driven to sprint through a gaping hole and finished STRONGLY through the finish line to seal the deal. Yes, this was a clean / good trip throughout, BUT it's also worth mentioning that she showed off strong body language and nice energy before being reserved on the gallop out.

Pace: The pace was UNKNOWN (PLEASE NOTE THAT TRIP NOTES WITHOUT TRUE PACE ANALYSIS ARE USEFUL, BUT NOT NEARLY AS VALAUBLE WHEN ACCURATE PACE FIGURES ARE AVAILABLE).

Colonial Downs · August 21, 2026 · Race 5

turf · 1 Mile

Pace beneficiary (-) Wide, late (+) Jockey upgrade (+)

Was 5-1 ML. She settled just off the pace and with the outer flow through the first turn (3-2+W), was nursed along through the middle stages as the tempo quickened and she maintained her position, and after inching forward in the far turn and being asked to circle 4W through the second half of the far turn, finished willingly through the lane to earn the front and hold sway in the late stages. Yes, she was a touch wide in this race, but she also benefited from the HONEST / FAST FRACTIONS, which leaves us debating between MILDLY DOWNGRADING this effort or calling it NEUTRAL overall.

Pace: The pace was HONEST / FAST.

Kentucky Downs · August 30, 2026 · Race 10

turf · 6 1/2 Furlongs

Good trip (-) Flow (-)

She showed solid speed to settle on a comfortable pocket spot in the early stages, rated kindly and appeared to be traveling very well while saving ground through the far turn, and after easing off the rail and earning a clear path with 5/16, used the length of the long stretch to run down leaders that had kept each other company for the majority of the race. A PERFECT TRIP in victory will be DOWNGRADED as she looks to run her record to a perfect 3 for 3 (NOTE: The 1-2-3 runners early finished 3-2-1)!

Pace: The pace was UNKNOWN.

Saratoga · September 4, 2026 · Race 4

turf · 1 1/16 Miles

Good trip (-)

She played follow the leader (from the rail) as a clear leader stole away with SOFT FRACTIONS through the first turn, rated kindly through the middle stages before getting some help with a trio of rivals lined up and quickened while right in front of her as she made her way into the far turn, and after responding to urging to keep pace at the rail in the far turn, was tipped into the clear with 3/16 to go and finished willingly through the lane to grind her way to the front! A PERFECT TRIP in victory will be DOWNGRADED moving forward!

Pace: The pace was SLOW EARLY.

Good trip (-) Horse comfort / Dominant (+) Jockey downgrade (-)

Was 5-1 ML. She showed plenty of natural quickness and speed to take control early, carved out COMMON FRACTIONS on the lead while unopposed and looking strong throughout, and after a confident ride through the far turn and cutting the corner beautifully into the stretch, finished STRONGLY in the final 3/16 to seal the deal while coasting to the finish late! A GOOD TRIP and DOMINANT PERFORMANCE also, we'll opt to MILDLY DOWNGRADE this effort into start #2!

Pace: The pace was SLOWER THAN NORMAL.

Kentucky Downs · September 7, 2026 · Race 12

turf · 1 Mile

Bad start not in the PPs (+) Recovery / Exacerbated fractions (+) Ground saving trip (-)

She was BUMPED and SQUEEZED at the start, which cost her her path and ~3L overall, which somehow is not mentioned in the PPs! She recovered nicely in the first 1/4 mile to work into contention (exacerbated fractions), followed the pocket runner in the middle stages while saving ground through the far turn, and after easing 2-3W from the 5/16 and reaching open air at the top of the lane, finished STRONGLY down the lane to reach the front before leaving the pack behind, which deserves PLENTY of extra credit to overcome the bad start!

Was 15-1 ML. She settled on her own and well off the pace early, journey mostly 3-3+W through tghe far turn while in hand and being ridden with patience, and after gradually easing wide as the far turn progressed (4-5-6W), was finally asked to "kick" with 3/16 remaining and finished FULL OF RUN down the stretch to strike the front and leave the pack before coasting late. An impressive debut to DOMINATE while covering more than her fair share of ground deserves a MILD UPGRADE (or more) headed into start #2!

Pace: The pace was UNKNOWN.

Indiana · September 11, 2026 · Race 3

turf · 1 Mile

Good trip (-) Gallop out (+) Jockey upgrade (+)

Was 8-1 ML. She broke BEST and showed solid speed before a leader and outside stalker moved past into the clubhouse turn, and after controlling a loose pocket throughout and taking advantage of an outside (joint) leader drifting wide into the stretch, made a nice split of rivals before edging to the front, and finished strongly to hold firm and seal the deal (vs a place finisher that closed from off the pace)! While this was a PERFECT TRIP on debut, it's worth noting that she had a TON of energy on the gallop out, hinting that more speed was under the hood - we'll designate a MILD DOWNGRADE moving forward!

Pace: The pace was NORMAL.

Kentucky Downs · September 7, 2026 · Race 7

turf · 1 Mile

Good trip / Accordion flow / Mid-race breather (-)

While she did break inward and brush the runner to her inside, she also broke with the leaders, making it tough to give her any extra credit as it relates to the start. She showed solid speed to clear off early, raced unopposed before receiving MILD PRESSURE when appearing to back down the pace a bit through the middle stages (this field "crunched together" as an accordion flow developed), and after being nudged to maintain her lead at the 5/16 and then driven to sprint at the top of the stretch, finished willingly through the lane despite failing to hold sway when it mattered! A better trip than most, we'll opt to MILDLY DOWNGRADE this effort moving forward.

Good trip (-) Horse comfort (+)

She earned a forward spot and saved ground through the first turn, was a bit keen onto the backstretch before settling down and racing under a snug hold through the middle stages, and after continuing at the rail into the far turn, gathered momentum before quickly circling the leaders and kicking for home with a little more than 3/16 to go. A GOOD TRIP OVERALL will be MILDLY DOWNGRADED (see summary) moving forward.

Pace: The pace was SLOWER THAN NORMAL.

Wide early (+) Mild pace beneficiary (-) More here (+) Jockey upgrade (+)

She showed useful speed but was stuck 4W for the entire first turn, got some help COMMON FRACTIONS as she was nursed along while in the clear and just off the pace through the middle stages, and after being coaxed to engage the leaders and responding VERY WELL by engaging and moving past to take a clear lead with 3F remaining, cruised through the far turn before finally being asked to kick with a little more than 1F remaining. A NEUTRAL TRIP overall, she spurted well clear before coasting while in hand from the 1/16 pole, hinting that more was speed was available if desired!

Pace: The pace was SLOWER THAN NORMAL.

Colonial Downs · August 20, 2026 · Race 2

Good trip (-) Dominant (+) Jockey downgrade (-)

She showed solid speed to clear off early (this doesn't read well in the PPs), was asked to measure her advantage into the far turn and allowed an outside rival to advance and engage her with 3F remaining, and after quiet and confident handling and gaining some separation when "let out a notch" as the far turn progressed, was finally urged to pick up the pace while also being steered inward to tighten up and discourage the runner to her inside! A better trip than most while also DOMINANT, she was eventually allowed to coast in, late. We'll call this NEUTRAL OVERALL.

Pace: The pace was NORMAL.

Ellis Park · August 23, 2026 · Race 5

dirt · 1 Mile

Unopposed early (-) VS pace / Pace pressure (+) Game (+)

She showed sharp speed to clear off early, raced unopposed through the early stages and down the backstretch before picking up the pace into the far turn when an outside rival approached and engaged her, and after carving out HONEST FRACTIONS and then racing head and head from the 3F marker to the finish, did the best work to repel the challenger to her outside on her way to victory. A SOLID PERFORMANCE after a "below average trip" (overall) on the front end, we'll MILDLY UPGRADE this effort as she takes on winners for the first time, although the loss of her winning jockey to a barnmate is an obvious negative.

Pace: The pace was HONEST.

Churchill · September 20, 2026 · Race 10

dirt · 1 Mile

Good trip (-)

Was 5-1 ML. She settled on a neutral spot as a clear leader carved out FAST FRACTIONS on the front end down the backstretch, saved ground into the far turn and was eventually eased 3W to get around a pair of tiring foes with 5/16 remaining, and after cutting back to the rail and being asked to get serious with 1/4 to go, finished best at the rail in the stretch and had NO PROBLEM overtaking a pacesetter (the eventual place finisher) that was softened up unable to resist in the final furlong. This was a GOOD TRIP on debut!

Pace: The pace was FAST THROUGHOUT.

Saratoga · September 5, 2026 · Race 11

Good trip (-) Dominant (+)

She showed off solid speed to stalk the pacesetter (HONEST FRACTIONS) from an inside position down the backstretch, was freed up to her outside in the far turn and eased 3W while being coaxed forward in the far turn, and after racing all by herself and finally being asked to sprint at the top of the lane, did the best work when the chips were down to drive past to earn a DOMINANT victory. Yes, this was a GOOD TRIP throughout, but this was a "self-made" journey and she also DOMINATED - we'll call this NEUTRAL overall.

Pace: The pace was HONEST.

Good trip (-) Wide (+) Dominant (+)

Was 6-1 ML. She was allowed to settle well off of the pace while IN HAND and while benefiting from VERY FAST FRACTIONS in the early stages, gained into the far turn while continuing to catch the eye as she inched forward without being asked a the 5/16, and when finally asked to get moving in the second half of the far turn run, she BLITZED 4-5+W leading into the stretch (widest) and then drew away from the pack after striking the front with 1F still left to go! A GOOD TRIP and DOMINANT victory also, we'll call this NEUTRAL OVERALL as she looks to validate this SMASHING DEBUT!

Start (+) Horse comfort (+) Pace beneficiary (-)

Yes, she lost 1+L at the start, but the remainder of the trip was quite good! She showed brief discomfort from the kickback before settling better and landing well off the (VERY FAST / HOT) pace down the backstretch, responded nicely to coaxing and began gathering momentum near the rail in the far turn, and after briefly pausing when meeting traffic and then finding room at the inside leading into the stretch, was driven to sprint in the stretch and did solid work in the lane to seal the deal! A PACE BENEFICIARY that dealt with some minor "speed bumps" along the way will be MILDLY DOWNGRADED as she takes on plenty of added ground in start #2!

Bad spot / Brief traffic (+) Wide (+) Gallop out (+)

She settled well off the pace early, raced under a SNUG HOLD as the backstretch progressed and had to steady when off of heels and avoiding a bad spot nearing the far turn, and after racing 3W into the turn and finally being asked to circle (there was no other option) at the 5/16, raced 4-5-6-7W as the far turn progressed before COMFORTABLY finishing best of all and galloping out sweetly through the clubhouse, which also offers upside! Yes, she'll need to improve, but she seems to have some talent, and the added ground should be an added benefit!

Pace: The pace was NORMAL.

Churchill · September 10, 2026 · Race 3

dirt · 6 Furlongs

Good trip early (-) Benefited (-) Jockey upgrade (+)

She showed sharp speed to clear off early and raced under a nice hold as she maintained a measured lead down the backstretch and into the far turn, was eventually approached outside of the 5/16 and allowed to pick up the pace when prompted as the far turn progressed, and after being urged to get serious leading into the stretch and quickly moving away from the runner to her outside, finished STRONGLY through the lane to leave the pack and run up the score in the stretch. NOTE: She did "tighten up" the 2-1 second choice (at the rail) on the backstretch, which caused that runner to be badly shuffled - this ABSOLUTELY gave her an advantage vs the others.

Pace: The pace was NORMAL.

Ellis Park · August 21, 2026 · Race 6

Forced patience / Bad spots (+) Wide, late (+)

He was patiently handled from a neutral spot at the back in the early stages, was "forced to wait" when a congested pack resulted in him failing to gain (he appeared to be traveling well) through the middle stages, and after racing 3W in the turn and finally being driven 4-5W through a VERY TIGHT SPOT leading into the stretch, did SOLID WORK to emerge from the bad spots to close the gap down the middle of the track! A TOUGH TRIP in defeat should be UPGRADED on some level as he makes his turf debut at a longer distance!

Pace: The pace was NORMAL.

Churchill · June 13, 2026 · Race 5

Good trip (-) Jockey upgrade (+)

He earned a clear and unopposed lead while DAWDLING on the front end through the clubhouse turn and down the backstretch, responded to urging to pick up the pace as outside rivals gained and forced him to quicken as the far turn progressed, but despite staying on and willingly sprinting in the stretch, he was overtaken with 1F to go and weakened further in the late stages. A PERFECT TRIP on the front end should be DOWNGRADED as he cuts back in distance. A more skilled jockey takes it from here.

Pace: The pace was a DAWDLE THROUGHOUT.

Saratoga · July 13, 2025 · Race 1

dirt · 1 1/8 Miles

Bias aided (-) Ground saving trip (-)

Although he paused a bit early, it was merely as a result of A DAWDLING PACE, not as a result of defiance. He settled fine while following from a tight position near the inside early, had to have benefited a bit from the position as this track favored inside runners, and after following a lineup of runners for the majority of the race and then finally tipping into the clear for the stretch drive, finished willingly through the lane to try and drive past the leaders, but came up just a bit short vs a winner that had the run of the race on the front end. A good trip overall and nice performance also, blinkers are added, and he cuts back in distance.

Pace: The pace was a DAWDLE THROUGHOUT.

He displayed useful speed into the first turn despite getting stuck 4-3+W throughout, continued in the clear while similarly wide as he targeted COMMON FRACTIONS and the outside stalker through the middle stages, and after being coaxed to circle early in the far turn and being put to increased pressure as the far turn progressed (3+W throughout), finished willingly through the lane and looked like a winner, but was repelled by the stubborn, wire-to-wire winner, that enjoyed a very good trip on the front end.

He drafted just behind the leader from a neutral path early, was patiently handled from a similar position through the middle stages, and after moving to the rail and picking up the pace nicely to protect the inside and gain while receiving some urging along the way, was driven up the rail to sneak through a tight opening to take a short lead at the top of the stretch. A journey that was mostly neutral overall, he'll have to contend with a difficult outside post position today.

Pace: The pace was NORMAL.

Gulfstream · March 1, 2025 · Race 6

Was 5-1 ML. We have nothing to add for this runner. He was outquicked early, raced through open air down the backstretch before diving into the far turn to save ground and keep his speed up, but after failing to advance when urged "ONLY A LITTLE" to get moving was given a token ride for a very long time, which increased the margin of defeat. He'll need to improve in start #2.

Pace: The pace was HONEST.

Good trip (-)

He settled at the rail while rating kindly through the early and middle stages, had a nice spot entering the far turn while by himself and targeting open air as the running became more serious, but after losing ground and racing 3-4+W as the far turn progressed, failed to get involved despite picking off some "stopping rivals" through the long stretch. A clean trip that offered no visual excuses will be DOWNGRADED moving forward.

Was 20-1 ML. Aside from a slightly tardy start that cost him 1-2L at the start, we have nothing to add for this runner. He raced at the inside while in tandem with a runner to his outside down the backstretch and into the far turn (midpack), and weakened in the final 5/16. A NEUTRAL TRIP after the mistake at the start, it might be a good idea to take the performance of a debut runner that breaks slowly from the rail with a grain of salt.

Start (+) Recovery / Wide early (+) Early move / Stuck wide (+)

Note the following for this runner: 1) He broke outward and suffered a negative bump at the start, which was meaningful because this runner was urged for speed and had some, 2) but was stuck 3W into the clubhouse turn and eventually asked to rate, which clearly was NOT THE PLAN (we believe this runner wanted to be front)! 3) After rating from midpack down the backstretch, he was urged forward to take a shot at the leaders but was once again stacked 3W and pressing through the entire far turn, and he predictably faltered in the stretch! A BAD TRIP throughout, draw a line through this race and expect another try at making the lead today!

He lacked speed and settled off the pace and with the outer flow, which was fine, but he then had to be URGED to run through kickback that he hated as he raced high-headed and lost ground despite being urged in the first 1/4 mile. He eventually settled down and attempted a wide rally through the far turn (3-4-5W and widest), but failed to get involved at all.

He was off 1L slow and then squeezed backwards when tightened up at the start, which left him dead last early - this is noted in the PPs! He raced with the outer flow in the early stages, gained nicely while wide on the backstretch and working into contention, and after racing 3-4-5+W while in hand as the far turn progressed, earned a share of the lead by the top of the stretch and then BLITZED this field in the final 1/4 mile while showing off STRONG BODY LANGUAGE (ears up / forward) on the gallop out! A DOMINANT score vs MSW types, a new jockey takes it from here! (NOTE: While technically we do not KNOW what the pace was, the posted fractions indicate that it might have been FAST, so we'll be cautious in giving too much extra credit for this off-the-pace score).

Start (+) Jockey intent (+)

Was 4-1 ML. He broke outward by about 5-6 paths, which had to cost him 2L or so. He lagged at the back into the clubhouse turn, was nursed along by himself headed into the far turn and was given some brief, moderate encouragement to pick up the pace, but when the stretch drive arrived, he was basically allowed to do his own thing for the entire stretch drive. This looked like a race that 'was needed' on debut. Take this running line with a grain of salt!

Pace: The pace was NORMAL.

Colonial Downs · August 30, 2026 · Race 6

Good trip (-) Dominant (+)

He showed useful speed to earn a forward spot while 2+W through the first turn, received a very good ride by "measuring his advantage" vs the others as "hooked duelers" sped away from the pack on the backstretch, and after having a clean, spying journey through the middle stages and gaining quickly on tiring leaders in the far turn, raced 3-4W to circle and take the lead before sustaining solid energy through the stretch to seal the deal! A GOOD TRIP after a nice ride in victory, he takes on added ground and a new jockey takes over for his first try vs winners.

Pace: The pace was VERY FAST THROUGHOUT.

Kentucky Downs · August 31, 2025 · Race 6

Good trip (-) Bad spots (-)

He was outquicked early and guided to the inside to save ground from well off the pace, was patiently handled at the inside before suddenly being worked on to gain with 3F remaining, and after working to the outside and dealing with some brief tough spots before reaching the stretch drive, was outfinished in the lane. A good trip early still made for a better trip than most (despite the mild traffic leading into the lane).

Pace: The pace was NORMAL.

He showed a nice spurt when asked to clear off into the clubhouse turn, raced unopposed early before receiving some "token pressure" as this jockey SUCCESSFULLY SLOWED THE PACE through the middle stages, and after a quiet ride in the far turn and finally being asked to get serious leading into the stretch, finished nicely when it mattered to seal the deal in the final 1/4 mile! A GOOD TRIP throughout, we recommend DOWNGRADING this performance as he takes on added ground moving forward!

We have nothing clever to add for this runner. A so-so start and lack of quickness landed him well off the pace through the first turn (3W), and after racing in the clear while wide and picking up a couple of position down the backstretch, he raced 3-2-3-4+W as the far turn progressed before being driven to try and reach the leader at the top of the stretch. A NEUTRAL TRIP throughout, a top rider climbs aboard as he cuts back in distance.

Good trip (-)

This was a VERY INTELLIGENT RIDE. He saved ground through the first turn and was stalking a pair of leaders that were pressing through VERY FAST SPLITS onto the backstretch, held a 'gapped position' but was allowed to idle to let the pack reach him before he edged back into a measured leading position vs the others as the backstretch progressed, and after stalking through the turn and eventually being driven to reel in the 'winner of the pace battle' at the top of the stretch, he finished willingly through the lane but came up a bit short vs a winner that was clearly best. This was a great ride and good trip overall.

Ground saving trip (-) VS pace (+) Bad spots (+) Jockey upgrade (+)

He settled at the inside and well off the pace as a DAWDLING leader controlled the pace through the clubhouse turn, but after patient handling through the middle stages and being coaxed to get involved in the far turn, initially looked outward leading into the stretch before dealing with tight spots and then cutting back inward into the lane. A TOUGH TRIP given the competition and DAWDLING FRACTIONS, it seems safe to take this running line with a grain of salt, and he galloped out just fine through the clubhouse turn.

Pace: The pace was a DAWDLE THROUGHOUT.

Churchill · May 30, 2026 · Race 5

turf · 1 1/8 Miles

Bad spot / Early traffic trouble not in the PPs (+) Ground saving trip (-)

He was in a BAD SPOT and had to be WRANGLED BACKWARDS to lose 1+L and some fuel in the early stages, recovered well through the clubhouse turn as he raced 2W before taking to the inside for a ground saving journey onto the backstretch, and after following the leader down the backstretch and getting some coaxing to keep pace through the far turn, finished up evenly in the lane without threatening. A NEUTRAL TRIP overall, he returns to turf racing and take on "older competition" today.

Pace: The pace was NORMAL.

Tampa Bay Downs · February 15, 2026 · Race 5

turf · 1 1/16 Miles

Good trip (-) Brief / Mild traffic (+)

He was given a nice ride to tuck in early, saved ground through the early and middle stages before pausing a bit as the PACE SLOWED headed into the far turn, but after continuing at the rail and responding to coaxing in the far turn, eased 2W to get around a stalling foe from outside of the 1/4 pole, and finished willingly the rest of the way to earn a clear place position. A GOOD TRIP overall should be DOWNGRADED on some level moving into start #2 off of the bench.

Pace: The pace was NORMAL / EVEN & SLOWED A BIT IN THE MIDDLE STAGES

Kentucky Downs · September 9, 2026 · Race 5

turf · 1 5/16 Miles

Good trip early (-) Bad spots (+) Minor steady (+)

The PPs get it right. He stalked a clear pacesetter (common rival "Doctrine") from a cozy outside spot for the majority of the race, was eventually coaxed to gain as a 3W rival gained and forced him into the leader with 3F remaining, and after increased pressure and dealing with in-between stress leading into the stretch, gamely tried to outrun runners on both sides in the lane but was eventually tightened up and forced to steady a bit, which sealed his fate as he "chased in vain, late." A NEUTRAL TRIP overall, his jockey sticking around to try again is an obvious, strong positive.

Pace: The pace was UNKNOWN (PLEASE NOTE THAT TRIP NOTES WITHOUT TRUE PACE ANALYSIS ARE USEFUL, BUT NOT NEARLY AS VALAUBLE WHEN ACCURATE PACE FIGURES ARE AVAILABLE).

Woodbine · October 10, 2024 · Race 1

turf · 1 Mile

Ground saving trip (-) Pace beneficiary (-) Obvious trouble (+) Horse comfort (+) Jockey upgrade (+)

He had the run of the race for 90% of the journey as he held a ground saving spot while targeting HONEST SPLITS throughout, but when looking to spurt up the rail with 1F remaining, a tiring leader lugged in and took his path, and he was forced to steady to lose all hope! A good trip that went wrong in the stretch, he finished up willingly on his own as this jockey gave him a token ride on the way in, but that didn't stop him from earning show money in the late stages! Let's give him a MILD PUSH FORWARD into his next race, and he did show off solid body language on the gallop out as well!

Pace: The pace was HONEST.

Kentucky Downs · August 29, 2026 · Race 2

turf · 1 1/16 Miles

Good trip (-)

The PPs tell the story. He broke best and quickly took control early, raced unopposed throughout while also appearing to get a mid-race breather as the far turn progressed (the field crunched together in what appeared to be an accordion flow), and when coaxed to get his speed up leading into the stretch and being driven to sprint with 1/4 to go, finished STRONGLY to seal the victory after this GOOD TRIP throughout!

Pace: The pace was UNKNOWN.

Gulfstream · February 22, 2026 · Race 1

turf · 7 1/2 Furlongs

VS pace (+)

Was 12-1 ML. She was urged for speed and did VERY WELL to run through an in-between spot to take control into the clubhouse turn, carved out FAST FRACTIONS and in control of a HEALTHY LEAD despite snug restraint for more than 1/2 of the race, and after trying to get a breather in the far turn and finally being approached by the field at the midway point of the far turn, was urged to resist into the lane! A bad trip in defeat, he actually wasn't terrible in lane despite being overtaken and chasing at the inside in the final furlong!

Pace: The pace was FAST THROUGHOUT.

Kentucky Downs · September 9, 2026 · Race 5

turf · 1 5/16 Miles

Good trip (-) Jockey upgrade (+)

He raced unopposed through the early and middle stages (a good trip for the majority of the race), was eventually prompted by an outside rival at the 3F marker and given some coaxing to pick up the pace as the far turn progressed, and after another outside rival joined the fray and the race turned into a sprint for home between (3) runners with more than 1/4 mile remaining, he sprinted willingly at the inside to try and resist, but was overhauled in the final furlong and had to settle for show money after a GOOD TRIP overall.

Pace: The pace was UNKNOWN (PLEASE NOTE THAT TRIP NOTES WITHOUT TRUE PACE ANALYSIS ARE USEFUL, BUT NOT NEARLY AS VALAUBLE WHEN ACCURATE PACE FIGURES ARE AVAILABLE).

Gulfstream · January 3, 2026 · Race 1

turf · 1 Mile

Poor start (+) Intermittent bad spots (+)

Was 8-1 ML. He was off a bit slow and then bumped to lose his path, costing him 2+L at the start! He recovered well early to advance through some bad spots before taking to the rail, saved ground before easing off the inside onto the backstretch, and after dealing with more in-between spots during the middle stages, was finally freed up (to his outside) for a clean trip through the far turn (2-3+W). A tough trip overall deserves some love, which leads us to an UPGRADE headed into start #2.

Pace: The pace was NORMAL / HONEST.

Kentucky Downs · September 6, 2026 · Race 6

turf · 1 1/2 Miles

Good trip (-) Jockey upgrade (+)

He had a nice journey through the early and middle stages as he saved plenty of ground while also racing mostly by himself for the far majority of the race, and after a 3W journey and drafting behind the leading brigade in the far turn, was eventually driven to sprint while in the clear leading into the stretch (he cut inward late, which was a good decision that "stole" place money vs the rival to his outside)! A GOOD TRIP and nice performance also, a top rider takes over as he looks to overcome the far outside post position!

Pace: The pace was UNKNOWN (PLEASE NOTE THAT TRIP NOTES WITHOUT TRUE PACE ANALYSIS ARE USEFUL, BUT NOT NEARLY AS VALAUBLE WHEN ACCURATE PACE FIGURES ARE AVAILABLE).

Kentucky Downs · September 8, 2024 · Race 7

turf · 1 Mile

Good trip (-) Jockey upgrade (+)

He targeted a TON open air and an HONEST PACE through the early stages, raced inward in the turn before angling 3-4W as the far turn progressed, but after a clear shot and being driven to sprint into the lane, he was just average when it mattered. A good trip overall, a top turf rider sees fit to take the call.

Pace: The pace was HONEST.

Fairgrounds · December 20, 2025 · Race 7

turf · 1 Mile

He lacked speed and was allowed to settle far behind early, raced mostly 2+W while targeting open air and mostly normal fractions throughout, and after tipping to the outside and being driven to sprint leading into the stretch, finished willingly while leaning inward as the stretch drive progressed. A NEUTRAL TRIP in defeat, he was finishing with the best energy when the finish line arrived, but never threatened.

Pace: The pace was NORMAL / HONEST.

Colonial Downs · August 29, 2025 · Race 5

turf · 1 Mile

Start (+) Early pause (+) Pace beneficiary (-) Outer flow / Wide (+) Horse comfort (+)

A bump at the start as well as the mildest of pauses (an outside runner was crossing over before the clubhouse turn) were evident, but these didn't mean much in the grand scheme of things. He raced 3W through the clubhouse turn while settling near midpack, targeted FAST FRACTIONS down the backstretch as a pair of dueling leaders set the table for Closers to perform best, and after being urged to gain while 3+W through the far turn and gaining a little ground, finished willingly through the lane despite leaning inward through the lane, which likely cost him a little speed. A PACE BENEFICIARY that also dealt with some minor obstacles along the way (see summary), we'll opt to call this a NEUTRAL TRIP overall.

Pace: The pace was FAST THROUGHOUT.
