I think we can DEFINITELY say that. Along with the 2 races you mentioned, he won the Kings Point and ran second in the G3 Excelsior this year. Two stakes wins and two more in the money finishes in graded stakes races is definitely respectable.
I don't think he is in Perfect Drift's league because PD is still a very solid G1 horse, and I would not think that Tagg would want to run him in the midwestern heat/humidity. But if the race ends up being Perfect Drift and a bunch of mules......maybe they take a shot. Funny Cide's recent form looks good, we all know that as good as PD is, he is not exactly a winner, and hell it is hot EVERYWHERE this summer. Unless they want to keep him on the shelf until October, they are probably going to have to run him somewhere hot.
