This colony doesn't hold a candle to NY.
I definitely think he's better than Talamo and Baze. I also think Rafie is extremely over-rated and I would take Raj ahead of him too. And while Roman excels in sprints, he doesnt do too well in turf routes. Smith seems to be on a limited schedule. Is Nak going back to Oaklawn? Which leaves Kent, Flat and Van Dyke. Kent is Kent, I like Flat and also think that Van Dyke is very good. So there should be plenty of opportunity for him, not to mention if he could end up in a spot like Arroyo did and ride first call for Miller. I wish him well out there.
