being drawn on the fence (1) and getting 'out' is worth quite a lot around here. I kept trying to get him to stay a mile and he doesn't and he pulled too hard last time. He tries too hard sometimes which is probably why he doesn't get a mile. He looks a seven-furlong specialist, and we'll find something else for him over the trip.
