1) The La Force experiment is officially over. I bought him from Endless Vista for two reasons:
- strong breeding
- excellent stamina
As I mentioned previously, his AR says Sprinter, but that was under the old programming where some horses may have been misclassified. I thought it was possible that he might have had a little more lung capacity than anticipated. That may be true, but there is another fly in the ointment that continues to hamper his performance which I'll describe in layman's terms.... he's lazy!
No matter what distance he races, La Force simply will not exert himself. I've raced him at 9F, 12F, and 16F. He generally starts well, then settles in at effort-level 3 to breeze through the rest of the race. That kind of work ethic is not permissible, so La Force has bought himself a ticket back to Endless Vista.
2) Kayson threw up a 107 PSR and was only able to manage a 7th against GR1 opposition. He's fast, but we'll try him at GR2 or GR3 next time out.
3) We were very impressed with the 2nd place finish of Kit Fisto in his debut. It was 8F on turf against four other 2yo's and the lone older horse, 5yo mare Light Touch, who was the winner. Fisto was the favorite and carried the most weight. He's the half-brother of 3yo colt Crossbones, so it looks like broodmare In Spirit may have thrown another decent one.
