I agree a bit with DrugS that his win was a little more solid than you do but I would be more concerned that nobody else gained an inch of ground and essentially Smokey Stover was right on the pace.
But, you're right, he has to win outside of California, but he MIGHT be pretty good. Sir Greeley, the original subject of this thread, is an established horse. An OK one....but not as good as Smokey Stover might be. If I told you right now that one of them will hit the board in this year's BC sprint, Smokey Stover would be 100-1 favorite over Sir Greeley assuming he hadn't gotten hurt.
