ART COLLECTOR - Sloppy Track Performances:


11-30-2019 Allowance Optional Claiming Race - 6f - Churchill. First but Disqualified.

This was the race where he came in first but was Disqualified for testing positive. At 6f, with his 3.36 index, he went into that race with an advantage and there was no reason to use any type of drug on this horse. Unable to use this race as a highlight for sloppy track performance because we don't know if the drugs actually played a part.


11-6-2019 The Dixiana Bourbon Stakes - 1-1/16th on Turf - Keeneland - 7th.

Most likely the sloppy track played no part. This was a turf race and this guy is a dirt runner.


Trainer: Thomas Drury

Jockey: Brian Hernandez

Style:

7/11/20 - The Blue Grass Stakes, Keeneland 9f, 1st. Stalked the lead. FORWARD.

6/13/20 - Allowance Optional Claiming, Churchill 8.5f. 1st. Wire to Wire in a 4 horse field. LEAD.

5/17/20 - Allowance Optional Claiming, Churchill, 7f. 1st. Ran Mid Pack and surged after the 1/2 pole. MID-PACK.


Has run in 3 different spots on dirt to win his shorter races. Most likely to settle between Midpack and stalking for 10f.
