Emannuel is playing catchup and that has many positives in my view between now

and May as long as he can stay healthy and no setbacks.

I agree with you ,running 1/16 mile in that race and he used less energy

and we don't have Dr. Romans data measuring energy used and I found that useful

in the preps ,but like you it's in our head and I make notes of it ,my memory isn't like it was.

I know you know others have shown low energy efforts and energy used is important

to gauge in the 9f races as the group matures and at that time its isn't just the ones today

that  use less energy it can be any of them stretching out as they get older and race by race

in April and late March 9f and 9 3/16 f. Battle tested and going in the right direction.

Oh Winter you are so Woke and its contagious coming from you !

This race will be Important to see if Tiz The Bomb belongs on dirt

I haven't seen the entries, this has been reported and I'm excited if these 3 

are part of the field..

Classic Causeway has been working steadily since the start of January.Rattle N Roll has just recently returned to work and is showing two 3f workouts

Thank you!

One of my other Classic Empire 2 yo won today at Gulfstream.   Old Town Road.  
I remember talking over with smartylew who told me had 2RF Terlinga (daughter of Big Red, Dam of Storm Cat and Pioneering.  ) But only 5.5F and claiming race, no-name trainer.  Horses like this with right trainer might excel, these are things we will never know and I think happen to a lot of horses with promise that never get fulfilled.   He was checked hard at the start, so much so that he ended up in back, 3 wide most of way, then 4 wide around the turn, then rallied and swept the field. 

Won at Churchill, Keenland, Baltera and now Gulfstream.  Wesley Ward had him as a 2 year old,, then dunno what happened!    Did the same thing under him, stumbled at start, lost action, then motored on to win.  At Keenland he won with ease.
