Why 4f in 54.85, (50/50) what good is that? Why a 3f work? What good is a 3f work gonna' do right now for a colt goin' 10f in a couple of weeks? A 3f work is usually a blow out shortly before the race. I don't understand what Servis is trying to accomplish w/these works . . . the horse may be out of sorts or he has a sharp 7f or 1m work scheduled soon, if not . . .  .
I did notice he has him wrapped up pretty tight w/the front wraps, generally a precaution considering the big race comin' up, but I've never seen the wraps go so high up and in the 3f work the right front wrap looks a bit peculiar . . . I can't seem to get a good focus on it. Maybe you can put a horseplayer's eye on that front right wrap, give us another perspective. Here is the link to the video of his works. |
If you look at his workouts in the past, he has almost always ran a :50+ for 4F. But then again, those are the
published workouts. Who knows what is going on between workouts.
