Seize The Grey Finishes on the Board

Not what we were hoping for today, but Seize The Grey did place. There were some stakes horses in the field, including Edified, so it was tough company but he's going to need to get better if he's going to continue down the Road to the Roses. We'll see how he develops over the late Fall and Winter. His late closing kick just didn't develop today.

Here's a video of the Allowance race at Keeneland.

Follow-up:

After learning that Seize The Grey had been caught in a traffic jam on his transport that morning--a delay that resulted in his trainer, D. Wayne Lukas, as well as several of the partners missing the race--his showing a more weary stretch run may have been a bit more understandable. In addition, this race was his first time going two turns and first time over the Keeneland surface. We don't know how much the absence of his trainer added to those factors, but we'll see how he performs next race, especially if it's at his home track--Churchill Downs.
