Animal Kingdom blazes 4f Work
« on: June 06, 2011, 09:40:10 AM »
47.76, breezing, galloping out 5f in 1:00.6 (at his own urging).  

While I understand the 0-2-X play against here, this horse continues to do everything effortlessly.  If he breaks well at Pimico, you\'d get 2-5 here. But at 2-1 keyed up top in exactas/triples/supers with value beneath in multiple spots, I\'m hammering him again here.  Should Santiva and/or /Stay Thirsty beat him. I\'ll be more than \"saved.\"  In my opinion, AK is a lock key in my veritcals that will win for fun.

I generally like when horses work fast but you have to be very careful when a horse is set up to bounce and they work fast.

I would have much rather seen a 50 and change work from AK.

Obviously others will disagree and that\'s totally legit but I don\'t like to see this kind of work from a horse that\'s a stlaker/closer that looks like a bounce candidate.

Belmont strip fake fast lately, beware of fast raw work times on that glib surface.

It looked like they were deliberately putting him head-to-head in that work to imitate a 2-furlong duel w/Shakelford.

He didn\'t back down, and seemed within himself.
