Sharpness was the problem. he just wasn't in great form as he was pushed hard to get there. I can give you a different example, we decided after Brave Inca's novice season that he needed to be fit as a flee to take on the big boys the following season. So he was super fit on the run up to his first race and then he just fell apart the week before the race. Mentally, he was gone. He finished secons to Macs Joy that day, off the bridle the whole way. We took a different approach after that, but it does show that its not all about fitness. Its about well being.
