I think you either sit the horse for 6 months or drop to $15-25k area. I fell in hate with Theatrical breeding cause they take so gosh darn long to develop and Rahy doesn't help. I could see where this horse doesn't hit peak til summer of '12, whatever his peak # will be who knows....... If you don't mind me asking what have jock instructions been? I see you get a solid jock all the time, yet colt stays in back of pack, not too far out of it.... I would try and find a distance race with him, say 9-10 furlongs, in which there looks to have a solid pace and have him try coming from dead last 15 lengths out of it ( I will be doing same thing with my 2nd time starter Rahy-Roberto-Lyphard 3yo in week 4204).... If you do drop in for a tag, I doubt very much anyone would touch him for 25k or lower for that matter with the #'s he's tossing out there. Heck I would bet if he doesn't react in a good way to a distance then just drop him to 2k and see if he slides through and is then available for starters.
