Maybe it was \"Victor-on\" for which there is a designation.
Maybe Victor is a better jockey than given credit and the horse likes him.
Maybe Victor\'s been carrying the buzzer.
Maybe the horse finally got fixed whatever was bothering him over the summer causing the layoff lines.
For the record, Sherman did NOT say it moved him up 5-6 lengths. He said \"it\'s not as if...\"
Whatever the reason, there appears to be the potential for it to be something other than \"strips-on\". And whatever it was/is has enhanced his performance figures. Regardless, he\'s beaten me twice and I\'m not going to the funeral in 3 weeks so he may beat me thrice.
Good luck -- Patrick
