IVY LEAGUEFour weeks ago, over the same distance, the horse led but maintained a steady pace with no noticeable acceleration, finishing fourth beaten two and a half lengths. The level of performance was respectable. Returning to racing this time carrying 17 pounds more weight, despite having previously won twice over this course and distance, with good times recorded, drawing a reasonable barrier, and a jockey change to Hugh Bowman who has some familiarity with the horse’s abilities. Work is being done but the situation isn't ideal; trainer-jockey combination appears less harmonious, suggesting a place finish as the most likely outcome.
