His tru knack is 1 mile. His given the lead up numerous times when going distances further than 1 mile. However with the gulf turf being somewhat soft & stormy relishing soft going, i should have vetoed my opinion on his distance limitations. Tom bush coddles this horse sumthin awful. Its his bread & butter & u can mark my word, if hes sound this spring we will see him at the keenland spring meet. Tommy does an excellent job of spotting his horses. Hes not jus gonna b firin bullets for the hell of it. He will occasionally use a race for a stepping stone, but more often than not, hes got his peices ready when they reach the gate. Kudos to tommy for keepin this horse n training. We need more old school trainers like him.
