Bettors will be more inclined to accept risk on a 3 year old with improving figures because the horses are still developing. An example would be Liberal Art. I like his breeding and ascending speed figures. Every race until the Ark Derby the distance was longer and every the figure was a little better. The horse was taken out of the Ark Derby by the jock early in the race so for me I’ll toss that race. Im disappointed he’s in the Lexington, and I don’t know what I’m going to do with it…?
