I would love to read what FTL thinks about this horse
Thanks

Hi Bill,
I took this from page 1 of “Picking Contenders and Pacelines” in the compilation made by Bill L .
c - last line the horse made up lengths between first call and second call to be within 2 lengths of the leader at the second call (a “(+)” race) even if it faded in the stretch and is the same distance, surface
The horse in question made up a half length during the second fraction and came within 2 lengths of the leader at the second call. Although narrowly, the horse qualifies for a “(+)” race. As noted, how the horse finished the race from the second call doesn’t matter.
On a personal note, here is a horse that in its' first 5 races (as a maiden) displayed early form. Since breaking its' maiden it is no longer running as an early horse.( I dismiss its' last race as the distance of that race was 7.5f ) I would not expect the horse to show early form in today's race.
