AThe first start he broke very slowly and he was a little slow to get into stride,@ Breuer recalled of her charge=s debut. AHe was green. He picked up a lot of horses on the turn and then in the stretch he did not switch his lead. If he had switched onto his right lead he would have finished a little closer or maybe even won.@ Trapped out four-wide, the ridgling made a huge stretch run again to miss by just a half-length to the heavily favored Chelios (Distorted Humor) last time here Jan. 26. AHe was a lot more forward, which is normal for a second race,@ Breuer remarked. AHe was a lot more in the race earlier and in the stretch another horse came out and bumped him pretty hard. I think that really knocked him off stride. I think he would have been even closer or won had he not Rprettyboyfloyd had that interaction.@ Benoit Photo With Rafael Bejarano in the irons this time and Rprettyboyfloyd=s closing style, Breuer thinks the San Vicente will set up well for him. AI think there are three speed horses in there and three closers,@ Breuer said. AIn an ideal situation, the three speed horses go out there and burn each other out.@ Breuer hand picked Rprettyboyfloyd for Pergola at the Barretts May sale, where she purchased him privately after he RNA=d for $32,000. AI thought he had a really nice way of moving, (click here for video)@ the conditioner commented. AI thought he hit the ground very lightly. To be honest with you, the thing I liked best about him was his presence. He really caught my eye in his walk. He had a very confident demeanor, which is what I look for in a horse. He strutted in their like he owned the place and he was just a teeny, runt of a baby since he was born in May.@ Rprettyboyfloyd=s late birthday is the reason Breuer decided to skip a juvenile campaign and start him as a sophomore. He has grown up and filled out a lot since then, but displays the same confidence that first attracted Breuer to him. AWhen he walks to the track you would think it is a big prize fighter coming out,@ she said. AHe is not afraid of anything. He puffs himself up and struts himself out like he is a big horse. He has filled out and is quite a bit bigger than he was.@ Out of El Bank Robber (Eltish), the dark bay was named after the famous robber Pretty Boy Floyd. AHis name came from the mare, El Bank Robber,@ Breuer said. APretty Boy Floyd was a very well known bank robber. They [the Jockey Club] would not accept just Pretty Boy Floyd because it was trademarked, so we just added the >R= in front of it.@ Cont. p4 TDN P HEADLINE NEWS • 2/15/14 • PAGE 4 of 9 • thoroughbreddailynews.com San Vicente cont.
