SPA 9th 2yo turf 11/6

John Greenhaw · 08-04-2010, 09:01 AM

The 9th at Saratoga is a turf race for 2yo going 11/6. Good race to see if these pricey babies will appreciate stretching out. # 4 FORUM raced at CD Derby week after posting a bullet at Keeneland from the gate. He broke ok but started looking around, not a factor until the 1/16 pole in a 4 1/2 f race, when he woke-up a came with a charge, but too little too late. Since then, Weaver has put him through a series of very good works, some on the turf tr track. Granted, his pedigree does not shout out for grass(Roman Ruler/Fu Peg) but the idea was to not race him again until we got a race with some meaningful distance. The furthest you can get right now on dirt at Saratoga is 6F. Javier Castellano has been advised to keep him interested early and to not let him get to far behind early. If he can keep him in the race early, Forum should come rolling late, at 8-1 ml. Disclaimer, be advised that I am a partner in this colt and my heart is stronger than my brain, not a good situation for serious horse players. Nevertheless, wish me luck as I really could use part of the $51,000.00 purse money.

Nice pick I used him with the #2 Nolangrant'sKitten in this race. Was very high on Nolangrantskitten today. Was very rank in the beginning and was running very green at the end all over the place.
