There's been a good deal of discussion about this horse (and this race) on the board, so...

Fair Grounds - Race 6

#8 Indygo Mountain (5/2 ml)

Calhoun trainee ran a good race for second in his Keeneland debut behind next-out winner Kopitar, but really stepped it up in start #2 when switched to the dirt and stretched out to a mile @ Churchill Downs, moving powerfully late to run away from a good field that included Flying Warrior, a talented Mott runner that i gave out here. Looks set for another good stalking trip, and figures to improve even further on the stretchout to two turns. Calhoun has excelled at the Fair Grounds meet, is very strong in routes (and with young horses), and hits at @ 29% with rider Theriot. No reason not to expect another big effort here.

HRT record:

50 for 165 (30%)

$428.90 mutuels ($8.58 avg)

I sat the comment you're referring to. It doesn't mean he's not trying to win, he's simply pointing out that an entry-level allowance in December isn't life-and-death as far as the Derby (and/or the horse's continued progress) are concerned. Larry Jones could've made the same comment and there wouldn't be any difference.

Too bad the race was cancelled, i was definitely looking forward to it. FB, let us know what the track is looking like for tomorrow!
