Belmont

Horse trainers worth their salt can pretty much tell what a horse has done by looking at the horse. Thus this morning's interesting Nehro vid to evaluate the horse and Asmussen training.
Have yet to look at the field, but likely Asmussen is the trainer to respect for appropriate prep.
Additionally, handling of Nehro has been interesting as Asmussen has been doing a fast breeze two weeks out followed by much lighter prep to the race, something that seems new to Asmussen at least from some former years of his when I was following his training style.
What do we see here, although would have liked a straight on shot from the side?
First, interesting conformation which by my subjective preferences--pasterns ever so slightly more upright than perfect, and a little long in terms of injury prevention, noting there have been plenty of good horses with this conformation. Other than the Big Brown perfecto type pastern conformation in terms of injury prevention.
Nehro today weight wise--is he close to 1.5 mile perfect weight-light but maintaining his flesh? Looks to me conventional type training muscular. You'd see more muscle definition on a more frequently breezed horse although with mine, given well fed/well supplemented, the musculature might appear a little softer. Comparatively, without yet seeing the other animals, but imagining what they look like on the training that's been reported, this may be the horse to beat???????
Training:
Fri 6/3 Off. Intended to go Sat. morning instead. That failed to come off. Busy distracting week finishes next Mon.
