Out of a producing \u201cG\u201d rated mare this colt by High Chaparral is no where to be seen until the stretch run. \u00a0<\/SPAN>He has never backed up in any of his races, although a winner of few.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Still eligible for NW4L might be the reason for that.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He certainly has the class as he has already taken down a G1 at 12f.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Adding 2f here may or may not be to his benefit.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>His last out at 13f was OK, but the only competition in that was the winner.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>We\u2019ll have to see if he shows up here to win his 4th<\/SUP> condition.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><\/TD><\/TR>
