[QUOTE=mufasa;At first when looking at this horse’s pp’s I was thinking perhaps he was just out of form but the steady drops in class with no sign of any early speed seemed to suggest that there is something else going on here. Would you or JB think that sometimes it could be a case of out of form versus a horse becoming inherently a slower animal now?
Thanks,

Hi "Mu"
This is gonna sound unreal but it is true. In 13 months of learning Jim's matchup I have NEVER heard him use the word "form" or the term " is he in form?".

I am SERIOUS! I don't think he knows what that is man

He ALWAYS uses terms like
a) slow horse
b) changed his style
c) can NOT get "on top" of fractions he previously could

see that last one Robert? THAT is something he FOCUSES on big time.

Trying to put you guys "in his head" so to speak. Really consider FOCUSING on "c".
