Insight?

What's the deal with this guy? Did I break him?
Can't believe that he'd fall off so quickly...I'm thinking about one more race for him and if he drops anchor again, he's headed for a life of
getting busy with the ladies.

So, if you don't mind helping, I'd appreciate any insight you all may have.
Thanks and have a great day!

Maybe run him off a two week break and see how he does. I find running on three weeks consistently seems to rest them too much and a two week break perks them back up.

Every horse is different, but for the most part I noticed the sprinters tale off at 4.

I have about 4-5 sprinters right now who kicked butt at 2 and 3 and are struggling at 4. I also have a few who I stuck with them them through 5 and 6 and was rewarded with a few late age stakes wins.

Thanks everyone. He's had a recent good run week 3, and no shame in the 4th in the Desert, so maybe it was a clunker.
He's got a front-end on the engine running style, so I thought 5F might be ok.

All in all, the consensus is that I may be knee jerking a little and should just chill...he'll be fine.

He might have dropped off after W9, or (more likely) he just ran badly today. Give him another shot in a couple weeks and see how he goes.
