Trainer's intentions maybe. He's Had Enough still is a little green and inconsistant. Maybe the trainer wanted the jock to put him under command and keep his attention. We don't know unless we talk to the trainer. If he's no good then Shanghai Bobby needs to improve a LOT because if the BC race had been a mile and a sixteenth and one foot 'Enough would have run him down.

Or maybe the horse just isn't very good?

I think Shanghai Bobby made a premature move in the Juvie and that's why he was tired down the lane, the fact He's Had Enough still couldn't pass him told me all I know, he's not much ( that should be the next name) this last work reinforces my opinion. I also don't think Shanghai Bobby is a serious Derby horse either.

That was strange that the rider had to ask He's Had Enough to pass by Handsome Mike. Handsome Mike did pass by HHE on the gallop out. Good work time I must say but certainly HHE should've n away HM on the gallop out as well.

Maybe so! :shock: Future book small bet is already made at 100-1 so I can't worry too much. Given the new points system for the Derby, 'Enough had better grow-up real fast.

Closed 4 lenghts on undefeated 'Bobby after a troubled trip, and lost by a nose, basically one more stride, and 'Bobby was all-in, being beaten like a step-child.
That told me something also.

Maybe HM will have a shot now after this work in the Strub if that's the next race for him.
