Re: One 3yo Prep Race (513 Views)

Of course the horse I am interested in is Helium.

I have that final Woodbine race marked up faster as the final time was compromised by a slow pace. To draw away on Tapeta like that at 7f after :46.2 was... impressive.

But not a fraction as impressive as what he did at the Tampa Bay Derby, starting 6-7 lengths off the lead, travelling nearly 6w the whole way around the track and after idling in the lane, re-breaking to kick away from a challenger.

My eyes are telling me this horse could be a monster.

It comes down to whether I should be worried about 8 week layoff or only one 3yo prep race. I can't say that either bothers me one iota.
