FOY

You do have value. I heard it straight from the Mans mouth 6 weeks ago. This one has talent

From Jay Privman\'s FOY analysis in the DRF:

Promises Fulfilled won his first two races last year before his lone loss, when third in the Kentucky Jockey Club at Churchill Downs. As I wrote in that analysis, he was “rank and tough to handle into the backstretch,” and “again had trouble cornering when he reached the far turn.” Turns out, there was a legitimate excuse for those antics.

Romans said Promises Fulfilled emerged from that race with a popped splint in his left front, which would obviously cause discomfort and force a horse to try to lug out. He got time off to address than injury, and came back with a career-best performance.

It was clear something was amiss there, and the  horse ran quite well till the 1/16 pole considering.

 Did this splint thing ever get mentioned pre race?

At some point during the card, XBTV showed an interview they had done with Romans.  I remember him saying to draw a line through the KJC, but I don\'t remember whether the splint was his explanation.  In retrospect, I should have been paying closer attention.
