More on Lenny

Watch this video all the way through and you will see two interviews with Michael Matz both before and after Lentenor's last race. Can you see the disappointment on his face after his second place finish at Gulfstream earlier this week?

Or maybe it was frustration because looking back, the pieces just didn't seem to fall into place for Lenny early on. Remember, he couldn't get into a race when he was ready to break his maiden and had to wait until earlier this year.

Regardless, Lenny may need some time to mature but he also may need to try out the dirt. Chances are, given the look on Matz's face after the race, that he may go the conservative route and enter Lenny in another allowance race (same conditions as his last--non-winners of two) before moving him up in class to a grades stakes.

The playing catch up is the frustrating part because Lenny, had he been able to break his maiden in December when he couldn't get into a race, would be that much farther along. I think he can run with the big boys--the question is when.
