3yo colt Refractor, in preparation for the BC Endurance.
The interview continued:
BH: Let's jump to the Endurance. You've got Refractor entered.
JW: Yes I do.
BH: Care to elaborate?
JW: He's a monster. Born to run at 16F. He'll win, hands down.
BH: You mentioned at one point that you werre concerned about his quick turn-around for this race. Is that still a concern?
JW: I'd prefer another week or two of rest, but I'm not overly concerned. Believe it or not, Refractor barely broke a sweat in setting that World Record last month. He was as fresh as a daisy the day after the race.
BH: The competition will be of sterner stuff in this race though...
JW: No question about that. Missy's KD looks to be very tough at 16F on dirt. The 3yo filly Quake is the real deal and she'll have a weight advantage. Vindictive has won the race two years in a row, for Christ's sake, and you can't forget Pluto, who is an absolute freak of nature.
BH: Your prediction then?
JW: As I said, Refractor will win.
BH: I'm sensing a trend here.
JW: How so?
BH: We've talked about two races and you've picked the Otsego Farms horse in both races.
JW: Well, we've got two more races to talk about yet...
BH: Yes we do.
