Hello Mike,
I just wanted to add my two cents to this post, FWIW, probably not as much as the two cents I just mentioned. lol
Anyway, I just wanted to say that I recall the post from the 8 horses last race and I also recall that you were putting that horse on your "horses to watch" list. I watched his last race, as I'm sure you did and I did not get the same conclusion from it as you did. And here is my thoughts on that. For more years than I care to remember, I have been watching horse races. One thing that I have learned is, when and "early speed" horse misses the break, it will use all that normal early energy in an effort to gain the position it normally occupies, the front. Most times these horses never quite make the lead they so desperately want and whether they do or do not, they have nothing left.
Now I did not watch the race today, so I have no idea how the race ran, but my point is that I don't believe this horse made a "closing" move in it's last race, rather, just a desperate move by an early horse that missed the break.
Good luck,
