Gavin B is probably still learning about the horse & based on today’s performance I guess he learned to avoid wet tracks with SB in the future.  

Today he was pretty ordinary but still think there was enough in his first few runs this prep to show he’s not totally a spent force.

So lightly raced, such a shame.  

18 starts for 5 wins & 3 placings - $1.037m in prize money.

Was certainly exciting when he emerged from obscurity in 2019 but never really scaled the heights I thought he might have.

Seems like a waste when Pruesker only wanted to aim him at the one race

I think back to horses like Leica Falcon or She's Archie, lightly raced stayers who looked to be ideal Cups horses for seasons to come and who for various reasons never fulfilled their Cup aspirations.

Strike while the iron is hot.


Another case of what could have been. Super talented horse who didn't have luck on his side. Such a tough game.

Hope he has a long and healthy retirement.
