The horse ran a bounced effort. Fractions and everything you see in the race is included with the bounced figure that you see. When I see this happen I tend to project a horse to run an in between effort at best (somewhere between the bounce and fastest figure) until the horse shows me improvement from his best effort I will not play the horse. There is nothing to indicate that this horse will run a new top especially with the best number being pretty fast. Even if you assumed an O-X-O-X type pattern at best its just not normal with these young horses running that fast so early on. So that projection wouldnt make too much sense to me. Not saying to keep him off tickets because you may have the odds for some kind of play but I don\'t see anything personally to indicate that the horse will run a winning effort against this specific field.
