Lazarus to the USA

[gutwagon]

The low 1.48 ths is as fast as he can go for a mile. Can't see him winning many more.

[gutwagon]

I don't understand why he was in that race, he had nothing to gain value and reputation wise. Just wiped a huge chunk off his value imo.

[Dot]

I believe he was there Rick because Jimmy Takter believes he will benefit from more exposure to the American style of racing. If he comes out and goes 1:46 at the red mile and/or triumphs in the Breeders Crown at Pocono then no doubt this race will be forgotten. If he doesn't then yes the U.S. experiment will have failed but none of us should forget what he was capable of and achieved downunder

Lazarus is in R11 No 6 at 11.50 am Saturday morning

Thanks for that info Greg. I don't think he will start fav this time.
Strange that they list the horses that are on lasix if it is not performance enhancing !

[gutwagon]

He does seem to go better when leading and they seem willing to let him lead. Nice win .

[Dot]

Can you see him winning a few more now Rick?

He wasn't used out the gate the previous start and settled 4th, and paced a53.2 second half and couldn't pick up a leade who went 54.1 and 54. It wasn't s bad run but a conservative one after the virus effected run.

Used off the gate and controlled the race and back to winning, just. Being able to lead and control the race is a big thing in many of these U.S. Stakes races. Whether he can go faster then 1:48 remains to be seen. They may try for a super quick time in Lexington or just be content to try and win there and at the breeders crown.
