Why I Like Master Fencer / Why I Don’t Like Master Fencer
Honestly its hard to really know what we have here. 2nd and 4th in Road to the Kentucky Derby races in Japan don’t exactly inspire confidence going into this elite race. But it’s an unknown and it would be unfair to write the horse off completely not exactly knowing what we are dealing with here.
My Take on Master Fencer
I’m not sure how to use Master Fencer at all. Going by history the two other Japanese-based horses failed to hit the board. Master Fencer is well-bred but I’m willing to let the horse beat me than to reach and try to find a place for him while betting.
