Lets see what he does when he meets other graded winners.
Lets see what happens when he has to fight to get the trip he wants.
Lets see what he has left in the last 1/16th when he's challenged throughout a race.
I've been watching races and horses a very long time and there's no easier trap to fall into than the horse that wins off easily over inferior competition.
The acid test is not the Vanderbilt, though it figures a far tougher race than the Monmouth romp. The acid test is in November in Louisville.

I think you mean the Amsterdam, but he's not even going there. Kiaran said he's training him straight up to the King's Bishop, which means that on Travers Day, he's one of those "must use" horses who, at the same time, can't be singled, 'cause he could run 40 lengths up the track.
