Two back he chased outside against a slow pace on a track favoring inside speed and last time he also chased outside against a HUGE inside bias. Plus, as opposed to the other members of tomorrow's field, he actually raced against reasonable horses.
The distance is always a question but he looks strong to me....at least on paper. He will certainly be no worse than second choice and I don't think it's impossible that he's favored. Successful Affair? Come on....he just won a conditional $16K claimer....after being vanned off in his prior start. That Contessa....he must be some trainer! Who knew?
